Blessed

DAY 13 OF 15

One day Jesus taught, and taught, and taught. He taught the entire day into the evening and the gathered crowd started to get hungry. They were far away from food, and the disciples wanted to send the people back to the nearby villages so they could eat. But Jesus had another idea. He told the disciples to find food, and they did. They found a young boy with five loaves of bread and two fish. The disciples gave the food to Jesus and He made more and more and more until the entire crowd was fed and full. He turned two fish and five loaves of bread into thousands of fish and thousands of loaves. Two and five into thousands.

So it is when we return anything God has given us back to Him. When God is prompting you to give, do it. The little boy could have said no and kept his food! But he didn’t, and we have this beautiful display of God’s creativity. We have no idea what He’ll turn our offering into. The possibilities are limitless in the hands of the One who made the galaxies and invented our planet. You may not see the returns on your investment like this little boy was able to. But you’re putting them in the hands of the same creative God, whose imagination knows no end.

About this Plan

Blessed

Our view of blessed is often tethered to a continually changing spectrum—our circumstances. If life is good, in our view, we’re blessed. If life isn’t going well, in our view, we’re not blessed. But is our definition of blessed the same as God’s? We’ll look at how God defines “blessed.” It turns out, we’re very likely missing how “blessed” we all are—regardless of what’s going on around us.
