Have you ever felt that you are too unimportant or ordinary
to make a difference? Maybe it’s time
to think again.
“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). John 6:9-10
When you read the story of Jesus’ miraculous feeding of the
5000 people with bread and fish, you may notice that only the men are counted. Yet it was a boy, who wasn’t even counted,
that supplied the basic bread and fish for Jesus to miraculously multiply.
This boy isn’t named and most probably felt
that he was just another kid in a village.
However, he stepped up, offered what he had, and in doing so played a
huge part in enlarging the kingdom of God.
So next time you feel ordinary, remember this boy and then
remind yourself that no one is too unimportant to make a difference in the
kingdom of God.
