“But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?” For there were about 5,000 men there. Jesus replied, “Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

When the disciples expressed concern about where the crowd of thousands would eat, Jesus offered a surprising solution:

 

"You feed them."

 

The disciples protested, focusing their attention on what they didn't have-food or money.

 

Do you think God would tell you to do something that you and He together couldn't do?

 

Don't let your lack of resources blind you to God's Power.

 

Actually we have unlimited resources available to us.

 

“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Lord God,

I know through Your Word I have access to unlimited resources but I don’t alway remember it or access them. Thank You for reminding me this morning that I can do all things through You who gives me strength.

Amen

 

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬
