“One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto Him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?” (John 6:8-9)
It has been estimated that perhaps there were as many as fifteen thousand people that Jesus fed on that day. John says there were about five thousand men. Matthew says there were five thousand men besides women and children. (Matthew 14:21) What are five barley loaves and two small fish among so many hungry people?
The secret is to place what we have, be it great or small, in the Master’s hand and let Him multiply it. Neither the little boy nor Andrew could multiply the five barley loaves and the two small fish but they could surrender it to Jesus. That’s all you and I can do. Our attitude must be that of the song, “All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give.” He has proven that He can take our little bit when surrendered to Him and make much of it.
