Day 7: More Than Sufficient
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, [Jesus] gave thanks and broke the loaves… (Mark 6:41).
In this miraculous feeding of the multitude (Mark 6:35-44), we see a picture of God's provision, His compassion and love. But not only that, we see that His provision is sufficient, and in fact more than sufficient to supply their need of food.
THE BLESSING:
Nothing without worship and thanks
Jesus must bless our labour, or it will be fruitless.
Always give that look upward before you begin your work.
~ C. H. Spurgeon ~ Multiple
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Be present at our Table Lord
Be here and everywhere ador'd
These creatures bless and grant that we
May feast in Paradise with Thee
Amen*
*We sang this hymn/prayer every day at my elementary school as we were dismissed for lunch.
