Bring Them Here to Me

1/25/2014

"All we have here is 5 loaves of bread & 2 fish"..."Bring them here to me," Jesus said.  (Matthew 14:17,18)

There were about 5000 men, plus women and children, who "ate and were satisfied" that day, not to mention the 12 baskets full of broken pieces that were left over! 

Humanly speaking that was absolutely impossible!  Do the math. Man's wisdom teaches us that 2+2=4. But man's wisdom excludes God from our equations.  We're forgetting God's life-giving words to us that, "nothing is impossible with Him."

Whatever the circumstances, don't rely on human wisdom, you will only wind up with a "4" (every single time).   I'd rather have God's kinda math!!  His equations say things like 5 loaves of bread + 2 fish + God = feeding the masses with large quantities leftover!

Whats required of us?  Trusting Jesus enough to take whatever it is we have (great or small in our own estimation is irrelevant) and "bring them here to Me."  And while we may not know exactly “how” something will be solved, we do know the One who is more than able to do the solving and it’s to His capable hands that we bring (and leave) all things.

That's "all in" kind of living, friends...the Kingdom living Jesus came to bring.

God's Words to You from Ephesians (The Message translation)

God takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before He laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love ...Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, we are a free people, abundantly free! He thought of everything, provides for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making...It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for...every time I pray, I ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory, to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what he is calling you to do, grasping the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him.

God, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, embraced us and made us alive in Christ. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing...Get out there and run on the road God called you to travel. Do this with humility and discipline, steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love...You (the Church) were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. But that doesn't mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift.

We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do...Take on an entirely new way of life - a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for Himself.

Love mixed with faith be yours from God the Father and from the Master, Jesus Christ. Pure grace and nothing but grace be with all who love our Master, Jesus Christ.  :)
