 “And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.”

Matthew 14: 18-19 NIV

Growing up this has always been a fascinating story and a true demonstration of the power and love of the Lord. So many lessons can come from this story where Jesus took the little that was left and gave the people exactly what they needed. In today’s world, we can get distracted with the comparisons of our neighbor and we wonder if we have enough to feed and provide for our families. What is important to remember is that God will always make a way. God will give us exactly what we need and our faith in Him to provide will never disappoint.

In today’s scripture it is important to remember that Jesus provided the example for us to follow. As we count our resources and prepare our families for another transition (summer to fall—rest/relaxation to school and activities) we must continue to go to God in prayer, fasting, and keep our faith in Him. We have seen time and time again of God coming through as the right time, according to His Will and providing what we need, when we need it. Remember those times and rest assured that God will provide all that we need.

Whatever you are praying to God for, remember He will provide exactly what you need.
