Feeding five thousand

Sometimes it seems that the impossible is being asked of us. We feel our resources are insufficient. The task seems beyond our abilities. But if the Lord really wants us to do something He will help us and give us all the resources we need. He gives grace in abundance. After all, the scraps were collected to fill twelve baskets. Lord, help me to trust you more.
