Matthew 15:36
And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.
Joyce and I still enjoy a delicious meal of liver and onions. When we are dining with another couple and order it off the menu, the reaction is often very negative. We hear snorts and see sneers over our selection.
Here is the story of our wanting to order that dish. When I was an Airman last class and stationed in South Dakota, the money usually ran out before the month. We would be scrambling to make meals.
It was toward the end of the month when a couple that we knew knocked on our door. They had a few packages of liver that they wanted to share with us. We could hardly wait for them to leave so we could enjoy a square meal. We had liver and onions several nights in a row until there was no more. Finally payday came so we could buy some groceries.
There are periods of our life when we hunger for something from the Lord that will satisfy that inner hunger of our heart. At this time, Jesus fed four thousand men, plus women and children with seven loaves and a few fish. That tells me that He can provide abundantly above all that I ask or think.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
