YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH!

Word for Today

“My God, shall supply all your need” – Philippians 490.

Are your afraid you won’t have enough to meet your needs? Let’s read the story of feeding of the 5000 and observe three things about the disciples.

FIRST, THEY TRIED TO ESCAPE THE PROBLEM. They told Jesus, “Send them away, that they go . . . buy themselves bread” – Mark 6:36 NKJV. and changing very. But He said no. Jesus understood that you grow by dealing with problems, not avoiding them.. Your faith increases only as you place a demand on it. Lazy, inactive faith will fail you in the hour of need, so you must feed on God’s word and exercise your faith regularly.

SECOND, THE DISCIPLES THOUGHT WHAT THEY HAD WASN’T ENOUGH: “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among some mane? John 6:9 NKJV. God will ask you to look at what you’ve got because even though it doesn’t look like much, when you factor Him in, it’ll be more than enough to meet the need. In the disciples hands it was just lunch for one, but in Christ’s hands it became dinner for 5000. So put what you have into  God’s hands and let Him work.

THIRD, ONLY WHEN THE DISCIPLES OBEYED HIS PLAN WAS THEIR NEED MET. When you ask God for a miracle He will often give you a plan with a set of instructions. At that point, your obedience sets the timer, activates the plan and determines the results. With God, there’s no lack of no limit. When it was over, “they took up 12 baskets full of fragments, and of the fish” Mark 6:43 NKJV. Don’t worry, you will have enough!
