Matthew 15:32-38

Good morning! :)


Matthew 15:32-39
Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way." Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?" Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?"
And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish." So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.


Jesus was proposing the impossible here. There were probably nearly 8,000 people there, and He wanted to feed them all! But when the disciples came in with a dose of realism and said, "uh, Jesus, that just isn't practical", He asked a simple question: "How many loaves do you have?" And with their seven loaves and few little fish, He pulled it off. Because with God, nothing is impossible! (Luke 1:37)
What is the impossible thing God wants to do in your life? Even where you don't see how it can be done, He just asks, "what do you have? what can you do?" And when you place what you have and what you can do in His hands, He makes it enough. He makes it work. He pulls off the impossible in you and through you.

Father, I give You me! All that I am, all that I have, I place it in Your hands. So you can work Your impossible dreams out in me and through me!

May the Lord bless you richly as He works the impossible in your life!
