In our accountability group we each accepted the challenge to read through a 21-day reading plan on YouVersion called “Living a Divinely Inspired Life.” Today we were reading from Mark 6 when Jesus feed over 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. Not only that, their were 12 baskets left over. One for each of the disciples to carry away.
The commentary that accompanies this particular study offered a valuable insight. It reminded us that the disciples were looking at what they did not have rather than what they had. Ouch!
You and I can get consumed by what we’re missing and never get to meeting the needs of what is happening around us. We need to reorient ourselves (I’ll be talking about this extensively on January 29 at 33Church). We need to realize that despite what we do or do not have in our hands we have the King of kings as an advocate for us. If you are called to do something but you do not have “the resources” you still have Jesus. See what He can do through you!
