you saw the people in their need
so many of them
and so few do to the work.

I was just meditating this morning on the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand. Oddly, it is told in all four Gospels (it is rare that specific stories are told in all four accounts). I came away with this sure knowledge:

Give what you have to Jesus.

The important thing is not who you are (you may be only a boy) or what you have on hand (it may be only enough for one person's lunch). It doesn't matter how big the need is or what hour of the day, or how impossible the situation appears. Whatever it is that you have bring it to Jesus, because He wants you to feed people on His behalf. Even our pain, if that is all that we have, can be used to "feed the multitude" when Christ raises it up with thanksgiving to God the Father as our High Priest and Intercessor. With the blessing of God upon your offering miracles occur.

I posted all four accounts of the five loaves and two fish on my homepage if anyone is interested in revisiting this teaching from the Word.
