Unlimited Resources!
Then Jesus said to the followers, "Tell all the people to sit
in groups on the green grass." So all the people sat in
groups. There were about 50 or 100 people in each group.
Jesus took the five loaves and two fish. He looked up to the
sky and thanked God for the bread. Then Jesus divided the
bread and gave it to his followers. Jesus told his followers
to give the bread to the people. Then Jesus divided the two
fish and gave the fish to the people. All the people ate and
were full.
-- Mark 6:39-42 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' disciples were concerned about the physical needs of the crowd
following Jesus and realized they didn't have the resources to meet
those needs. (See the previous verses.) Now, however, Jesus shows them
the unlimited resources of God when they place what is available in the
hands of the Lord. Jesus took their meager meal of 5 loaves and 2 fish
and made it more than sufficient; he made it ample. Now the Lord looks
to you and me and asks us to offer our resources to him so that he can
bring us the blessing and the provision of God.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O glorious Father in heaven, I believe, but help my unbelief. Help me
offer my limited resources to you so that they will be made sufficient
to do your work and minister to those in need. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
