“‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.” (John 6:5b-6 NIV)
Do you remember the story of Jesus feeding 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish? I think it’s amazing that out of 5,000 people, only one person brought a lunch. I’m thinking a lot of people were hiding a picnic basket under their robes because they didn’t want to share with anybody else. But one little boy offered the bread and fish that he packed for his lunch. He gave Jesus what little he had, and God used it not just to feed a lot of people but also to show them how much he cared and how powerful he is.
God always starts with what you have. You may not have much time. Your finances may not be worth much. You may not think you have much talent. Sometimes, you might consider your resources as being insignificant to be useful for God.
But you can give God everything in your life. Give him your heart. Give him your reputation. Give him your purpose and plans. Give him your past, your present, and your future. It may not be much, but you can give him your five loaves and two fish.
In John 6:5-6 Jesus asks, “‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do” (NIV).
Jesus wasn’t sweating how to feed 5,000 people. He already had in mind what he was going to do. He saw the need long before they did. And he had a plan.
You need to understand this truth today: God always has the answer before you even know the problem. God is not sweating your unsolvable problem. It’s not too late in the day for Jesus. He saw your problem long before you did. He knew it was coming, and he already had a plan for it. God knows the solution to your problem before you even recognize it’s a problem. This He did when man fell in the garden of Eden. Before his fallen, he had prepared a solution which is the lamb slain before the foundation of this world.
So why are you worrying? Just admit you have an unsolvable problem, and then give God everything you have.
When you face an unsolvable problem, is your first reaction is to look at your own resources or God’s promises? What does it mean to give God something?. Why do you think God wants us to surrender what we have before he works a miracle? Have you ever asked this before in every thing you do? I want to say that God needs whatever you have got in doing his work of miracles. When he demanded for your most precious gift of life, your talent and everything. As the new year has started, give him all and you will never loose anything no matter what.
God bless you
See you soon
