The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part TwoSample
Daily Reflection: Jesus led the disciples to care for the multitudes as if they were family. Instead of sending the crowd away at a late hour with no plan to feed them, he encouraged the disciples to use what they had on hand and divide it up among the people. He blessed this food, and miraculously it was enough to feed 5000 people. God will never ask you to give more than what you have. But when you give all you have, God will multiply it to bless more people than you could ever imagine. Just like the disciples, who were also able to eat that evening, you will also have your needs met in the process.
Daily Demonstration: What do you feel like God is asking you to give? Take a moment to pray that he would show you what he wants you to give to his family. T8iake comfort in knowing that “the generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered” (see Proverbs 11:25).

About this Plan
The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
