The Resource Maker
Then Jesus asked them, "How many loaves of bread do you
have?" The followers answered, "We have seven loaves of
bread." Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then
Jesus took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God. Jesus
divided the bread and gave the pieces to his followers. Jesus
told the followers to give the bread to the people. The
followers obeyed him. The followers also had a few small
fish. Jesus gave thanks for the fish and told the followers
to give the fish to the people.
-- Mark 8:5-7 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus does not need our resources. He does, however, call us to use our
resources to bless others. When we bring those resources to him, and
offer ourselves to him, he will make them more than what they are and
help us be better than we can be on our own. Jesus is the Resource
Maker and the Resource Stretcher.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy Father, take me and use me. Take my resources and use them. Make
them more than they are and use them for your glory. In Jesus' name.
Amen.
