Day 22: Living By Faith

Many of us will be able to recall the story of the feeding of the 5,000. But it’s not just a classic for Sunday school. There are so many lessons we can learn from this powerful story. I want to focus on just one today.

“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. (Matthew 14:17 NIV)

Now, over 5,000 people had come out to hear Jesus speak and they were getting hungry. The problem? They had nowhere near enough food to go around. Or so they thought…

“They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.” (Matthew 14:20 NIV)

So how did these people go from being hungry, to full up?

Jesus blessed the offering of the loaves and the fish. Jesus can mightily bless even the smallest things. We just have to be willing to offer what we have up to him. In our story, what was once a little boys lunch, became a feast for thousands. Don’t ever underestimate the size of what you have to offer God. Offer it up today and watch God do the rest.
