Little is Much When God Is In It (Mark 6:30-44)
Today's story is about a miracle that Jesus performed. Many people wanted to hear Jesus talk, and they would gather around wherever He was to hear what He would say. One day, Jesus had been teaching them all day long, and it was getting to be dinner time. His disciples told Him to send the people away so that they could each go buy themselves something to eat. Jesus said "You feed them." His disciples were shocked! There were at least 5000 men, along with their wives and children! They told Jesus they didn't have enough food for all these people.
Jesus said, "What do you have? Bring it to Me." The disciples brought Him what they had: five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus told them to have all the people sit down in groups. Then He took the bread and the fish in His hands, raised them up to heaven and prayed. He broke the bread and the fish apart and began handing the pieces to His disciples to give to the people. Guess what?!!! The pieces just kept coming and coming and coming! All the people got to eat bread and fish until they were full, and after that, the disciples gathered up 12 baskets of leftover bread and fish!!! Only God could do a miracle like that!
Sometimes God will ask you to do something, and you will think it is too big of a job, or too hard, or just something that you cannot do. Jesus performed this miracle so that all the people would have food that day. He also performed it so that you and I would know that even when we think we can't do something, God can!
