I focused on what I lack!
I speak of what I don't have!
I drain my mind just by thinking of what I don't have and how to get what I don't have!
But yet You say and do otherwise! You say to me,
"you give", "how many you have"
I'm flabbergasted..I don't know how to reply You.
But I know that You are right as You always use what You have to make more.
Even when it seems like there is nothing yet You have that very one thing to multiply.
In the beginning, there was darkness, but yet You speak the word and things begin to happen.
The WORD is there!
Matt 14:16-21
16But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!" 17They said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."18And He said, "Bring them here to Me."19Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,20and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.21There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
Matt 15:32
Four Thousand Fed
32And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way." 33The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"34And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."35And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. 38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.The disciples saw the limitations "the large crowd & what the food they don't have" and they were confine/limited within their minds. You have them breakthrough just by using what they have and multiply it.
1 Kings 17: 10-16
10So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."11As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand." 12But she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."13Then Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.14"For thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the face of the earth.'" 15So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days.16The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah.
2 Kings 4
The Widow's Oil
1Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."2Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."
At times, I think and see WHAT I DON'T HAVE or I HAVE NOT ENOUGH but You always say otherwise. You have me look at WHAT I HAVE!
You have me look at what You have given to me and what I'm to do with what I have. Just the widow, they say they have nothing but truth is they do have. Yes! I do have!!
I may belittle my ability or feel small of my skill/talents but I do have. It may be little but it does not matter as I carry Your ability and that is to use what I have be it skills, finances, ability, talents, wisdom and etc to make more.
I realize that it all starts with what I HAVE!! and WHAT I DO WITH WHAT I HAVE! It's in limitations and confinement, I learn to use what I have which is what You have already given and use it to multiply and rise above the limitations.
When I give all that I have unto You, You would MULTIPLY IT!
You amaze me! AWESOME GOD!
