While reading about Jesus feeding the five thousand, I pondered the relevance of this miracle in my life. I imagined the loaves and fragments, wondering how God could create a miracle from what I had.
John 6:12 stood out:
"When they had all had enough, He said to His disciples, Gather up now the fragments (the broken pieces that are left over), so that nothing may be lost and wasted".
Recently, I secured a job to meet my daily needs, a stepping stone I'd call "better than nothing." Yet, I found myself wondering, "How do I get to where I desire to be when I'm still nowhere?" I'd nursed dreams, but they seemed distant. Like the disciples, I thought, "How can I feed the crowd with just five barley loaves and two small fish?"
How do I achieve success when my current situation is blurry?
How do I revive broken relationships or fit into a constantly changing world? But then I realized, the loaves were given to Jesus, the One who can multiply them until we're satisfied. Our "loaves" may differ, but we all have "crowds" to feed. By giving our limited resources to Jesus, we can trust Him to create a miracle.
We'll not only receive a miracle but also the fragments – the leftovers – will be a reminder of God's abundance.
I am not where I desire to be, but I am trusting Jesus with my life; how about you?
Stay Revived!
