Jesus fed more than 5000 people
with a little boy's lunch.
Five little loaves and two little fishes.
(Perhaps they were sardines.)
This true story helps us begin to perceive
the nature of God's upside down kingdom.
It shows us what we must bring
to every kingdom transaction:
We must bring all we have,
and be willing to give it away.
Our stuff must be given to God.
We must be available.
God wants our focused attention.
It works best
when we're at the end of our resources
and God is the only hope left.
The more desperate we are, the better.
What are you desperate for?
What do you want that only God can supply?
When we get to the end of our resources,
we are ready for God to act.
I just got up today and I run into this....hummmm wow it is always good to be remembered how we must decrease so He can increase in us, how in the weakest of the moments, there is where He can do Great things....My prayer for you today is:
ReplyDeleteMay God make you to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied; let the bones which He has broken rejoice, may He hide His face from your sins and blot out all your guilt and iniquities.
May He Create in you a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within you, and God cast Gary not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from him.
Restore to him the joy of Your salvation and uphold him with a willing spirit, then will he teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You.
Amen
