When we're tested...

When we're tested...
In John 6:5 Jesus asked Phillip for a human solution to an impossible situation-to feed 5,000 men plus their families even though their wasn't any food available. Jesus did this to test & strengthen Phillip's faith. While Phillip was reasoning potential solutions & becoming frustrated another disciple found a boy carrying 5 loaves of bread & 2 pieces of fish-hardly enough to feed the crowd. But Jesus took the ridiculously insignificant amount of food into His hands & gave thanks to the Father for providing. Every person was fed & had more than enough-12 baskets of food were left over!

God's Word says He provides all our needs-exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ever imagine. Whatever we release into the hands of Jesus will be offered up to the Father-He takes our not enough & turns it into an exponential potential...more than enough! This is God's promise to all who trust in Him-sadly fear wins in the minds & hearts of many due to their own wisdom convincing them to rely on their abilities instead of God's power. They hold tight to their plans in life-reasoning they can control what they have or that because they don't have enough they aren't going to release it. This belief forfeits the miraculous provisions of God.

It's not the amount we have…it's how much of the amount we're willing to release into the hands of Jesus & then believe that God will make something of it. Don't hold back giving what you have & forfeit the promised provisions of God. Apart from God you can do nothing, but with His strength you can do all things He asks of you! Are you facing an impossible situation like Phillip? Give what you have to the Lord-don't hold back & then watch Him make something from nothing!
