My time with the Lord was spent in John 6 this morning.  It is a familiar story.  Jesus feeds a huge crowd of people with one little boys lunch.  I saw verses 8 & 9 in a fresh way.  The verse says this:

 

Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"

 

When I read the beginning of the verse I thought: WOW, that Andrew sure has a lot of faith.  He is bringing to Jesus a boy with a small lunch in the midst of a huge crowd.  Then I read the end.  The part where Andrew questions just exactly how good an idea this is.  The “but how far will they go among so many?" part.  We’ve all done that.  Said something, or come up with an idea and then, almost immediately, realized how stupid it sounded.  I think I do it every day.

 

What I’ve come to realize is that all I have to do is get the first part right.  I need to have just enough faith to believe that God can do something.  He will take care of the rest, just as he fed that huge crowd with a small lunch.  Unfortunately, I often end up questioning just how big is my God.

 

I hope you will have “just enough faith” to see a big God do an incredible thing.
