“And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, ‘I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.’ The disciples said to Him, ‘Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?’ And Jesus said to them, ‘How many loaves do you have?’ And they said, ‘Seven, and a few small fish.’ And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.” (NAS) Matthew 15:32-38
When you look at the increasing circumstances of need perhaps you begin to think, as did the disciples, I have only a little and there are so many to help. The disciples were focused on what they didn’t have. “We don’t have enough to feed all these people.” And yet Jesus wants us to focus on what we do have. It’s all about your loaves and fish and someone else’s loaves and fish and another persons loaves and fish. And you add it all up and the needs get met. When you give what you have, God releases His blessings and the miracle occurs.
DECLARATION: I will take what He has given me and help others.
