God Supplies Even More Than We Need

In our Fellowship Family, our Senior Pastor, Wayne Neller, has given us 12 short, impacting, and powerful words:

 

Start Where You Are ...

Use What You Have ...

Do What You Can.

As I ponder these insightful words today, I am reminded of the story of The Miracle of the Loaves and Fish. 

On this Day of Miracle, Jesus multiplied five barley loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of 5,000. All ate their fill, and afterwards, 12 baskets of leftovers were gathered.

The disciples brought their lack to Jesus, and Jesus filled their need in abundance.

When we face unbelievable challenges in life, we give Jesus what we have - our need and our lack. Surely, we have started where we were, used what we had, and done what we could.

We find in our lack:

1. God provides for every need by showing us our inadequacies

2. God provides for every need when we place our inadequacies in His hands

3. God provides for every need in overflowing abundance

As we reach the limit of our own resources, we make a choice to trust Him instead of despairing over our lack and our inadequacies.

"Lord, what are You going to do?"

~Amen~
