“They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well. And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces” (Mark 8:7-8).
The Lord satisfies the hungry heart. There is always more than enough. No matter the privations of this world, our Lord can and does feed our souls. From a little He grows His likeness and creates in all who believe a deep repository of His goodness. He said that He was making all things new and that includes all who walk in faith. Trust the author and finisher of our souls.
Almighty God, I stop at the place where I ask how is this possible. I forget that You have told me that with You all things are possible. Take me ever farther in faith so that I stop questioning Your ability, but learn how to trust that through all things, You will bring them together for good for those who love You. Guide me in this faith You have given me and help me to learn how to faithfully walk trusting You above all things.
Come Holy Spirit and feed my soul. Fill me to overflowing that the gifts You give may spill out to others. Lead me so that I bear fruit befitting the kingdom. Help me through all that will come my way this day to not lose sight of Your provision, granting me my daily bread. Nourish me from Your bounty that I may live by faith in the grace You give and be satisfied with Your presence in me this day. Amen.
