Thinking about the story of Jesus feeding the crowd with 5 loaves and 2 fishes.
Jesus tried to go away alone to pray, but the people followed him. He couldn't get away. I think he wanted to get away because he knew his disciples wouldn't have faith for what God was about to do.
And if he prayed they might.
But God had another plan. He wanted to use the least, the weak, to solve a problem.
So when the crowd pressed in Jesus pressed back, surrendering all to give generously out of all he was given.
The physical gift of a little boys lunch was small, but what was in Jesus was powerful and plenty. He gave enough to satisfy a multitude and he pressed out so tremendously there was an abundance.
More than necessary. The gift of a lunch from a small boy was enough.
His disciples were learning to trust in a way and at a time when weakness
became strength.
Because God is Great!
Extremely well put and inspiring....I see i have competition........lol
