Good Monday Morning Blog Family and how’s everybody doing this beautiful morning. Sun out, birds chirping, light breeze blowing. Thank you Father for such a beautiful day.
I am sure if you are a Christian, there have been times you have placed something or someone in the hands of our Lord and Savior. I am also pretty sure that you also know that once Jesus gets a hold of it, things change. Because whatever is placed in His hands is blessed, changed and if need be, it multiplied.
Take a few minutes and read the Bible reading Matthew 14:13-21 below and see if you can relate. It may not have actually been 5 fish and 2 loaves of bread, but you had a 5 fish and 2 loaves of bread experience.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he 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.
Now, even after Jesus took the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish and blessed and multiplied it. Everyone was fed and full and they still had plenty left over. There were 12 baskets full of food picked up, enough for each of the 12 disciples to have a basket. I think the disciples learned a powerful message that day. Just take what little you have and put it in the hands of Jesus and wait.
So, this post this morning should have boosted your faith up a little bit more. I can’t speak for you but it sure gave my faith a boost. Whatever the lack is or whatever the problem is, just put it in the hands of Jesus and wait. Make sure you make room for the extra, the over flow. Because when He blesses us, He always blesses us with what we need and extra to be a blessing to someone else. God Bless 🙂
Prayer
Father, we come to You this morning in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Lord and Savior. Help us to not worry about things and learn to place them in the hands of Jesus. The One that can bless and multiply. Thank You and Amen.
