Today, in the testimony of Christ our God miraculously feeding the 5,000, we are reminded of what Christ can do with the little that we have to offer Him. And yet, even though what we have is little and always deficient, He invites us to join with Him in His wondrous works to sustain and fill many. Satan has us always focus on what we lack which leads us to spiritual paralysis denying ourselves the joy that comes to us when we are united with Him in His good works. Our Lord asks us to look upon Him and see that all He asks us is that we offer Him only what we have. He knows it is insufficient. He fills what we lack with His sufficiency. Thank God our salvation is not dependent on us, for we lack much. It is utterly dependent on us keeping ourselves joined to Him Who has everything.
