"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.
