While attending Bible School in 1970, I joined a singing group that toured the United States. We stayed in folks' homes and traveled during the day. On one particular occasion an elderly lady prepared a meal for a group of about 12 of the singers. I helped set the table and heat the food. The hostess opened one can of corn to serve all the guests and a small amount of potatoes, gravy and meat, enough to serve three guests at the most.
We all stole glances at one another, determining to take tiny portions to make the food last. To our surprise each person took a scoop of food but the amount in the bowl did not diminish. When the meal was finished every guest was full and we had as much food left over as what we began with. No one said anything to the woman but we were filled with chatter at the wonder we had just experienced when we drove away.
Jesus fed 5,000 hungry men not counting women and children with a small boys lunch, five barely loaves and two small fish (Mathew 14:16-21; John 6:4-14).
Do not fear, God is able to feed you.
