He is who He says He is
"What food do you have?" Jesus asked his friends. "Go and see, bring me what you have." A little boy overheard Jesus and gave Him his little lunch of 5 loaves and 2 fish. Jesus winked at the little boy and whispered in his ear, "Watch!"
"How in the world will Jesus feed everyone with just that?!" Jesus' friends said, because they thought it was impossible.
But Jesus knew the One who made all the fish in the oceans. And Jesus knew the One who in the very beginning had made everything out of nothing at all. How hard would something like this be for Someone like that?
- The Jesus Storybook Bible
I have been pondering this story all morning. I love how "not having enough" doesn't even phase Jesus. He literally *winks* at this problem of lack. What an example He is to the little boy and to His disciples, His friends. As we continue to serve all of these children and each other. Let us remember that we are not operating out of lack because WE know the One who made all the fish in the ocean. WE know the One who made everything out of nothing. He is who He says He is. We know Him and He knows us. Whether we feel a lack of volunteers, energy, emotional resources, whatever it is. Let us run to Jesus and feel His arm around our shoulder. Let us listen and wait for Him to wink and say, "Watch!"...
