"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?" John 6:9
There once was a man who fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a tree limb on the way down.
The man yelled, "Is anyone up there?""I’m here. I’m the Lord. Do you believe me?"
"Yes, Lord, I believe. I really believe, but I can't hang on much longer."
"That's all right; if you really believe you have nothing to worry about. I will save you. Just let go of the branch."
There was a moment of silence, and then the man asked, "Is anyone else up there?"
How many of us are like that man? God is right there just waiting to lift us out of our troubles and we pull our hand away. What it comes down to is faith. Do we really believe that God can help us when we have problems?
The biblical account of the feeding of the five thousand with the multiplied bread and fishes is an example of how God came through when there was a seemingly impossible problem. This is more than just a story about a miracle. It is actually part of a great lesson on the Bread of Life.
