Daily in Your Presence - Dec. 13

Rebecca Barlow Jordan invites readers to discover the transformative power of resourcefulness in their own lives, as seen in the biblical story of Jesus feeding thousands with just five loaves and two fish. By embracing God's ability to multiply even the smallest offerings, readers can experience a deeper trust in His provision and multiplication of His kingdom's work.

Day 348

RESOURCEFULNESS

Taking the five loaves and the two fish

and looking up to heaven,

he gave thanks and broke the loaves.

Matthew 14:19

FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, what's in your hand? When I once asked Moses, I turned his rod to a serpent and back again. I once asked that question of a little boy and multiplied his offering of five loaves and two fish to feed over five thousand men and their families. Whatever you have in your hand is what I will take and use, My child, to feed others and to multiply My kingdom's work. Trust My resourcefulness. What seems little to you is all I need.

A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
Lord, You took a lump of clay and created man. You turn a desert into a springtime garden and dig a well from a mirage. You feed thousands with only crumbs. My "I think I can't" turns to "I know I can" when I look at Your resourcefulness, Lord. You're amazing.

SIMPLE TRUTH

A king deserves a royal prize, beyond all earthly measure,
I'll give my heart, and nothing less — the highest of my treasure.
