Read about It
Read: John 6:9–14
When we read the Bible, our heart is encouraged to learn and know the goodness of God and see the miracles that happened. So many times in the Bible, we can see when Jesus did the miraculous and the crowds were amazed. We can also see times when Jesus used His followers to be a part of a miracle. In John 6, we see how Jesus used a boy and his lunch to feed more than five thousand people. The disciples didn’t see much possibility of a boy’s lunch of five small loaves of bread and two small fish feeding that many people. But Jesus chose to show God’s power through this young boy’s offering of his lunch.
Want to know something cool? God can use you! He can use your gifts, talents, and resources to do a miracle in your life or for someone else! If God can use a young boy’s lunch to feed so many people, imagine the incredible ways that God could use you. The young boy probably had no idea that Jesus would do something mighty with his lunch that day, but he was willing to let Jesus use his lunch to do a powerful miracle.
