“There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?” John‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬. One of the important things we should notice in this passage is that this little boy came and freely offered his food to Jesus. This reminds us of how God chooses to work in our world. He uses that which is offered to Him. He works through hearts and lives that are given to Him. Jesus could have asked His Heavenly Father to send down manna from Heaven like He did for Israel in the wilderness. But He chose to use this little boy’s offering to work through. Today, we know God has the ability to write in the clouds His message to needy souls. But He chooses instead to use us, as the body of Christ, to be His witnesses. He could speak in an audible voice to tell of His love, but He chooses to use us to show His love. That means that each of us have a responsibility before God to offer all that we are and all that we have to Him, so that He can use us to bring help to others and glory to His Name. Let us not be among those who sit idly by waiting for God to do some great thing. Let us offer ourselves to become the consecrated vessels that He can use to do great things through.
