Making the Most of It: When You Have Some

Most of us would say that, at least in comparison to the rest of the world, we have more than a littlebut most of us probably wouldn't say we have a lotmost of us would say we have some. And that may not seem like much, but when we give Jesus some He can do a lot. In John 6 the popularity of Jesus had grown, and John counts more than 5,000 men that had gathered to hear Him teach. Including women and children we're talking about a crowd of around 12,000. Jesus realized that the people were getting hungry and says to Philip in verse 5, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" And Philip says to Jesus in verse 7, "It would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!" But a simple, yet hard to believe truth, is: Where God guides He will always provide.
