When You Don’t Have Enough

excepts from Betsy de Cruz

“Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.” – Mark 6:41, When resources are in short supply, we start to focus on our lack. That’s what the disciples were doing when Jesus asked them to feed the 5,000 people. “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they said (Luke 9:13). Jesus, however, took the little they had, lifted it to heaven and gave thanks. Then he put what they had to use. Man’s scarcity turned to God’s abundance as they broke the loaves to feed 5,000 people and later gathered 12 baskets of leftovers.

Are your financial burdens making you ask Jesus, how can I do this? Bring what you have to Jesus and entrust it to His care. Give thanks for what God has already given you. Focus on God’s abundance rather than your lack. Let’s develop a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. God has more than enough to supply every need.
