“And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish” (Mark 6:41-42).
They all ate and were satisfied. What is it that we really need? The Lord causes the rain to fall and the plants to grow. The world feeds daily by His provision. Too many act as though the very things we use each day are not miracles provided by the Lord. The faithful ones are called to lives that are thankful for all that the Lord provides. There is enough for everyone.
“Take and eat, this is my body, given for you.” Lord God, You have provided all that we need. It is right there before us. Overcome the unbelief amongst those who call themselves Yours. Help us to understand these things and act on them. Help us to use the provision You give us and live as You are leading us in the way of the everlasting life You have offered us.
Thank You Lord Jesus for providing the means of grace. In Your grace, You have given me all that I need. Life is more than food or clothing for the body. You are the author of life and have established the narrow way that leads to life everlasting. Help me each step of the way, for you alone know all that is needed. Guide me in Your goodness to see the everyday miracles that surround me. Amen.
