Follow, Give, Sit, Receive, Use wisely

There are a lot of miracles that Jesus had performed while He was ministering on earth. One of my favorites is 'The Feeding Of The 5000 People'. Why?

1. It spoke about Jesus' compassion for the multitude that was following Him.
   
   • He sees us when we are following Him. He knows our needs. He knows when we are tired and hungry. He has compassion on us.
     
   
   
2. It tells us that Jesus can make small things big. The five loaves and two fishes were too small to be able to feed the crowd.
   
   • When we think that we have less, Jesus sees that we have more. All we need to do is to give the five loaves and two fishes to Him even though that are all I have.
     
   
   
   
3. His disciples became worried of the big crowd and suggested that Jesus send them to go to the nearest town and bought food.
   
   • We tend to worry very easily when we saw big challenge in front of us.
   • We tend to make suggestion to God. We might say "Lord, let the trouble go out of my way"
     



4. Jesus did not submit to the disciples' suggestion instead asked them about how much food the have.
   
   • But Jesus will say "How much strength you have to face the trouble?"
     
     


5. Jesus told the crowd to sit down.
   
   • When we have give all that we have up to Jesus, all we need to do is 'sit down'. We need to relax, rest and not thinking of the trouble. Let Him do the rest.
     
     
6. He fed them till they were all full.
   
   • He will fulfill our need and give to us abundantly.
     
     
7. He told them to gather the waste.
   
   • I think Jesus wants to tell us not to waste foods. We cannot waste our blessings. We need to use our blessings wisely.
