Feeding five thousands: God will take care


There are many reasons we are worrying for: how to manage our allowances until the end of the month? How to get things needed for our studies? How to get things needed for ministry? Especially when we go back to Myanmar how to survive with our small salary (RM 150 per-month)? How to care and feed family? How to start Library and tuition ministry among Burmese? How to care and show love among the community? And there are many more reasons to worry for…
When I meditated on the Lord’s feeding of the five thousand (John 6: 1-15) with two small fish and five barley loaves, I really get strength. The young lad is available for God’s use; he is willing to sacrifice all that he has for God’s use. The disciples were worrying how to find food for such a big crowd. But Jesus asks them something to give. They were worried that eight months salary will not be sufficient to have a bite for such a big crowd. When Jesus asked his disciples to give them something to eat, he already had in mind what he was going to do. The Lord already knows what he is going to do in both my present and future carrier. He already had in mind how to bless and provide the fund needed for my future ministry. He only shows me ‘one step at a time’ that I may constantly depend on him. The only thing is availability for God’s use then the rest will be taken care by God.
