READING: JOHN 6:1-14

Verse 9: “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

The Lord, by His supernatural nature, is all powerful and entirely beyond human comprehension. For that reason, we tend to underestimate what He is able to do. A classic example of this tendency is illustrated in John 6:9. Faced with the need to feed more than 5,000 people with very little available, Andrew the disciple concluded it was an impossible situation. However, as many would, he  underestimated what Jesus could do. It is well known that the multitude was fed with enough left to fill 12 baskets. At one time or another, or even numerous times for most of us, we find our selves in Andrew’s predicament. It seems we have too little to accomplish what is before us. Even at those times the glorious  reality is that the Lord Jesus is our miraculous Provider, and He will always be our sufficiency. He will meet our need! His faithfulness endures to all generations. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
