A year ago we wondered how it would all stretch...
We stared at our 5 loaves and 2 fishes, eye brows raised and hearts hungry for a miracle.
It was not enough to feed us or carry us through the journey ahead.
It just wasn't enough.
But is there ever enough for the faithless?
A year later and we are counting the overflow. Counting the 12 baskets of leftovers. Never doubt how God will provide the bread and wine of daily life. Abundance is the love language of God. Abundance is the way he showers His children with love. Abundance is how He fills empty souls with the bread of life.
But often I don't hang around in His presence long enough to experience abundance. I run away from the precipice of faith and content myself with a meager pantry. A pantry empty in need of a supernatural filling.
A year of being homeless and finding our home in an abundant God. Our bellies have been filled by faith. Filled by faith by a God who promises that in Him we will hunger and thirst no more.
beautifully written....we are in that phase of how will it all stretch...thank you for this encouragement today!
ReplyDeleteOur times of want and wondering are the ones where we come closest to God, and then he startles us with his provision! Thinking of you as you stretch your provisions and God stretches you.
