"My Only for His ALL"...Thursday

10/10/13

And they said to Him, "We have here ONLY five loaves and two fish." He said, "Bring them here to Me." Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass.  And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.  So they ALL ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.  Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.  Matthew 14:17-21

Have you ever noticed how God will take your "I only have" and make it something big?  In the story of the feeding of the 5000 (plus the women and the children) our God did exactly that.  He took 5 loaves and 2 fishes and made it something big.  I also want to bring to your attention that He not only just gave them a small amount to just get by. But an amount that would make them ALL full.  And if that was not a big enough miracle, there were leftovers.  One other detail, the word ALL in this from God meant EVERYBODY ate.  Not one person was left without.   When Jesus took the bread and fishes and gave thanks and blessed it He knew that there was more than enough to take care of them ALL. Jesus did not look at the little but at the bigness of our God.
