SCRIPTURE: Matthew (NIV) 14:17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. 18 “Bring them here to me,” he (Jesus) said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children
OBSERVATION: The disciples took what was available and gave it to Jesus. Then they took what He gave them and gave it to the people.
The disciples were a key link for getting the needed bread from Him who is the bread of life, to those needing nourishment.
APPLICATION: Here is a good pattern for me and for any disciple of Jesus. I take what I have available and give it to Jesus. Then I take what He returns to me and give it to those around me.
I become a link to get the message from Jesus to those needing to hear.
NOTE: The disciples only gave out what Jesus had given to them!
ALSO NOTE: Jesus only multiplied what they had given Him!
PRAYER: Lord, at your direction, to place in your hands the little I have is the wisest thing I can do! Lord, I place this SOAP in your hands. Multiply it and use it for your glory! I know you will then place this SOAP into the many hearts and hands of those who will distribute it to those hungry for a word from you. Amen
