“Jesus replied, โThey do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.โ”
Have you ever felt limited when you want to help someone, whether by time, energy or resources? Often, we too easily and quickly say “no” because our lack discourages us from doing what is good.
Yet, God is challenging us to not be paralysed by what we perceive to be lacking. Even though we have natural limitations, we can step out in faith knowing that we serve a supernatural God.
“You give them something to eat” shows that God wants to partner us in faith-filled ministry. And if He multiplied even the five loaves and two fishes, then don’t despise what’s in your hand.
Knowing this is the God you serve, how can you practise radical compassion and obedience today?
