Remember yesterday when we read about the mustard seed? We said that small acts can turn into big impacts with God. Today we are going to read a story that shows how a small act can have a huge impact. Jesus was teaching again. This time Jesus was teaching to a massive crowd. There were 5,000 men there and about 15,000 women and children. The people had been hearing Jesus teach for a little while, and now everyone was hungry with nowhere to get food. The only food they had was from one little boy who had five loaves of bread and two fish. The boy was willing to give up his food to help feed others. This was a small act, but then Jesus did something incredible.
Jesus took the small act and something big happened. Jesus used the five loaves of bread and two fish, and there was enough for every single person to eat. There was so much food that there were even leftovers. Jesus performed a miracle.
Can you imagine being there on the day that Jesus fed the people? What do you think it looked like, smelled like, and sounded like?
The young boy gave up his food so that others could eat. What is a small act that you can do today? You might have to give something up so that others can be blessed. It might be hard, but it is so worth it. God wants us to be generous with what He has given us.
Prayer: God, You are good. You are God alone. Thank You for taking something small and performing a miracle. God, You are powerful. You are wonderful. You are love. Help me tell others about You. Amen.
