Baskets

There is only one miracle recorded in all four Gospels: the feeding of the 5000.
Some simple lessons to meditate on from that day by the Sea of Galilee:

When the problem is too large and the resources are too small, God is simply reminding us that it doesn't depend on us, it depends on Him. If we will just give Him the resources that we have, He will fill the baskets--and fill more of them then we could fill on our own--even if we had more resources.
Nothing is more necessary for victorious living than those little words "having given thanks."
You can't meet physical needs with spiritual "stuff." And meeting people's physical needs can make them receptive to spiritual truths.
You can't meet spiritual needs with physical stuff. When their hearts have been touched by love, feed them the Bread of Life too.
Jesus did not come to pursue political power but to build a compassionate spiritual kingdom dedicated to meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of people.
The faithful sacrifice of a teenager once it is placed in Jesus' hands can bring great blessing to many. Don't despise small gifts. Don't despise the young person eager to give what little he may have to the Master.
