5and2

The thought that capture me today is simply this, Have I given my "5and2"? Can I honestly say that I have given all that I have to this thing we call life. This life that we live is a journey with our Creator. He, Jesus, being the King of kings and Lord of Lords. Have I honestly given all that I have? When you look at the scripture found in the 6th Chapter of The Gospel of John, you see that this little boy had 5 loves of bread and two fish (hence the phrase 5and2). This boy gives all the he has and in return the Lord blesses it and it satisfies the multitude! Scripture goes on to say that all were satisfied and there was even more left over. Does that mean when we give our "5and2" that the Lord blesses it and then those around us are satisfied and there is even some left over! If so, I pray that we all give our "5and2"

Lord hear our prayer, we have nothing but our "5and2" please take it bless it and feed the multitude!!


John 6
Bread and Fish for All
1-4After this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee (some call it Tiberias). A huge crowd followed him, attracted by the miracles they had seen him do among the sick. When he got to the other side, he climbed a hill and sat down, surrounded by his disciples. It was nearly time for the Feast of Passover, kept annually by the Jews.

5-6When Jesus looked out and saw that a large crowd had arrived, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread to feed these people?" He said this to stretch Philip's faith. He already knew what he was going to do.

7Philip answered, "Two hundred silver pieces wouldn't be enough to buy bread for each person to get a piece."

8-9One of the disciples—it was Andrew, brother to Simon Peter—said, "There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But that's a drop in the bucket for a crowd like this."

10-11Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." There was a nice carpet of green grass in this place. They sat down, about five thousand of them. Then Jesus took the bread and, having given thanks, gave it to those who were seated. He did the same with the fish. All ate as much as they wanted.

12-13When the people had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the leftovers so nothing is wasted." They went to work and filled twelve large baskets with leftovers from the five barley loaves.
