❤️✔️ In the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 we see how He can take “not enough” and make it more than enough. At first, all the disciples could see was a huge problem, but Jesus saw an opportunity. He used the little offering of a young boy to make a huge difference. ------------------------------- So many times we feel inadequate, thinking we do not have anything to offer Jesus. In reality, all He asks for is willing followers who are ready to give all they have. All throughout Scripture we see God’s unfolding plan to change the world through ordinary people. He used a shepherd boy to become the King of Israel, He used a teenager to birth His own son, and He used a fisherman to start the early Church. ------------------------------- In 2010, God used a small youth group from Wichita, Kansas to make a huge difference in the lives of people across the globe. This group of 13-18 year old students had heard about the orphan crisis and were determined to do something about it. The youth group only had about 10 students, but they believed God was calling them to build a water well in Swaziland at a cost of $6,000. In man’s eyes this seemed like an impossible task, but again, Jesus saw an opportunity to use ordinary people to change someone’s world. ------------------------------- The students began to use their gifts and talents to raise money. They held benefit concerts, mowed lawns, and worked extra hours at their jobs. The students would also fast a meal each week and give the money to the project. One of the students said, “God didn’t tell us to take care of those hurting and in need only if we have the money. He commands us to love, and I believe one of the ways we can show love is to give—even if it is just 1 or 2 dollars. What I might consider to be little can do great things in this orphan crisis.” God took these students’ offering and multiplied it in miraculous ways. The group accomplished their goal and raised $6,250! ------------------------------- Now lets work! Heres your assignment! You are too are an ordinary person that God can use to do extraordinary things! Today read John 6:1-15, ask God to reveal to you how help and then do it!
