SCRIPTURE: Mark (NIV) 7: Mark (NIV) 8:4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?” 5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied … 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterwards the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About four thousand men were present.
OBSERVATION: Jesus took what they had (seven loaves) and multiplied it to feed 4000 men!
APPLICATION: I may be looking for the closest grocery store … I may be looking for a buried treasure … I may be looking for a generous benefactor … but Jesus is looking for what I have. Jesus starts with what I have.
My part: as I release what is in my hands, He releases what is in His hands!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, you have already demonstrated your willingness to give. Now you are waiting for me to demonstrate my willingness to give. I do not have enough to meet the need, but what I have can be the seed you multiply. I only have what you have so generously given me. Find me generous too. Amen
