Loaves and Fishes

Now Playing: breezes outside my window
Topic: God multiplies; we divide
So, you may say, why write a blog on loaves and fishes? There are reasons: the age of miracles is not through, and I watch miracles happen. Furthermore, I have watched this week unfold with miracles for me. At the beginning of this week, I began cutting hay. The fields I cut in have not been maintained very well, they are clay, and yet they continue to yield, year after year. When I began to cut, the grass wasn't very heavy, so I prayed for loaves and fishes. I was expecting about 35 bales of round hay, I believe I actually ended up with much more than that on the one field. I had prayed for God to multiply the hay, and He did. I went into another field expecting to bale about six bales. I believe I left about 13 in that field. So the point is: ask God for BIG blessings, ask for the impossible. Ask for God to give you what no one else can. Ask God to bring you the things you cannot find on your own. Ask God to bring you the things you think you could find on your own, because He knows where they are already.
So as the topic says: God multiplies our feeble resources much more than we could ever do, and our doubting hearts want to divide those things which we see as impossible. So instead of asking God to give us just enough to get us through, let us, like Caleb of old who asked Joshua, "Give me this mountain." let us beseech God, "Give me this mountain." He will give us what we ask in His name.
