Mark 6:41 (NKJV) 41 And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.
It was all the disciples had. But Jesus, being moved with compassion, took it and blessed it. Then He gave it out, and it fed them all!
The disciples sowed a seed; they gave all they had. And then the miracle took place!
What is it today that we need to sow, and in return see a miracle?
Notice that this particular miracle was done for others.
The disciples knew that 5 loaves and 2 fish would not get the job done. It wouldn’t even come close to taking care of the people. They were thinking more on the lines of sending the people away so they could go get food.
But Jesus taught them something to remember that day; give Me something I can bless and multiply. Give Me something I can work with.
He fed them all with 5 loaves and 2 fish. It was a miracle indeed!
But the miracle came when they gave up what they already had. This is a big step to take. And many will say no to this, not being willing to surrender what they have.
Someone’s waiting on a miracle today. Is there something that you may be holding back on giving to God? Is there something that you need to let go of?
I remember, years ago, we thought we’d have to leave our home. Hard times had hit, and we needed to do something.
Selling was the only answer we could see. And we were willing to give it up.
But God saw our heart, and He told us not to do it. He had another way.
He provided for us and got us on track. He saw our willing heart to do whatever we had to do. In return, He gave us a way out. He parted the red sea in our situation.
What miracle do we need today, not just for us, but maybe for someone else?
A miracle is when our need is greater than what we can do on our own. It is beyond our capability. We need God.
God help us to be willing to sow that seed if need be, that You may bless it and we may experience Your miracle today.
Amen.
Mark 6:44 (NKJV) 44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.
