“When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.” (John 6: 12). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. When the multitude was done eating, Jesus instructed His disciples to gather the fragments. The fragments were broken pieces of bread and fish; they were no longer whole; they were in little bits; they were crumbs that fell as the multitude fed; they could have been ignored or explained away. These fragments eventually filled twelve baskets. They came in bits, they seemed negligible and inconsequential as they were gathered, it wasnt exciting to gather the fragments, but the fragments later became bigger than the five loaves and two fish that Jesus started with. Friend, are there fragments you can see around you? Are there little opportunities, favours, mercies, blessings, etc that God is bestowing on you as each new day unfolds? Are there little miracles and breakthroughs that do not look gigantic as they come? Does it seem that God is blessing you in bits with packages that seem like broken pieces? Today, God says, gather your fragments. Take up every small package that God has brought your way; take the small opportunities; take and appreciate the small favours; take the little offers; utilise the negligible chances that God is bringing to you; use the little ideas you have; use your skills and abilities, no matter how inconsequential they seem. God’s package for you may come in bits and pieces, but just take them. If you keep gathering your fragments, soon, your baskets will be full, and your cup will run over. If you take the blessings of God as they come, soon, your testimonies will be many. The fragments may seem small, but they can fill your baskets if you keep gathering them. Pray With Me: Lord, I will gather my broken pieces, may they fill my baskets, in Jesus’ name! Follow on Twitter @jerrystreams. Have A Blessed Thursday!
