Devotion:
Read Mark 6:32-44.
The feeding of the five thousand (plus many more) by Jesus is just one example of his desire to bless everyone around him. Jesus could have sent the crowd away - instead he asked the disciples to feed the crowd knowing that it was beyond their capabilities. However, they brought to Jesus what they did have, even though in their eyes, it wasn’t enough. Jesus decided to work through this offering and turn it into something great. Not only was it enough - it was given in abundance!
The lesson of the leftovers is Jesus takes whatever we can offer him in time, ability or resources and multiples its effectiveness beyond our wildest expectations. If you take the first step in making yourself available to God, he will show you how greatly you can be used to advance the work of his kingdom.
Personal Worship Option:
What is in your hands today? Give that to God and look for his blessings of joy, peace and abundance.
