Hand It Over Into His Hands
Philip and Andrew. I wonder which of these two disciples we can most relate ourselves with. The important point for us to remember is that no matter what situation we face, the Lord already knows and He does have a solution for us. However, He is waiting to see if we are willing to turn our little into His almighty hands, and trust Him to take over.
When we surrender those little things into the Lord's hands, everything takes a turn for the better. Our sickness turns to health, our trials to triumphs, our needs to plenty, our failures to victories, our sorrows to joy, our weakness to strength, our worries to calmness and our limitations to liberation.
Jesus often created situations for his disciples, both to stretch their faith in Him, and also so they could truly understand who He really was.
When the huge multitude of hungry people needed food, Jesus discussed with Philip to see if he could find a solution. Like most of us who get logical when it comes to finances, Philip, too, made a mental calculation, and then informed Jesus that even if they had two hundred denarii with them they could never buy enough bread to satisfy the hunger of that huge crowd.
Andrew, on the other hand, saw a small boy with his little lunch of five barley loaves and two fish. He began to wonder what this would do when given into the hands of Jesus. Jesus took that small lunch, gave thanks, and then it transformed into a mighty miracle. The outcome was mind-blowing. Not only were more than 5000 people fully fed and satisfied, they were even able to collect twelve baskets full of leftovers.

Here’s a word of reassurance from Paul in Philippians 4:6-7, “Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.”(GW)
