A little boy showed up in the crowd of five-thousand men plus women and children. The disciples had suggested that Jesus send the multitude away. A little boy with five barley loaves and two small fish was discovered in the crowd.
Why was the lad there? Perhaps he was there alone just out of curiosity and wanted to see what was going on. Had Jesus, unknown to the little boy or to anyone else, arranged for him to be there? Were these five barley loaves and two small fish prepared by his mother for the boy’s lunch? He never expected to be called on to share it.
We may never be able to answer these questions. We do know that enough people to fill a large stadium were sent away filled. Neither did the little boy go away hungry. Jesus provided their needs.
What meager possessions do you have in your hand? Placed in the hands of our Lord there is more than enough for Him to bless and use in a miraculous way. When we come before the Lord we must open our hands and let Him take what He needs. We will discover that He has placed in our hands more than we need.
