September 1 “Five Loaves and Two Fishes”
“There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves and two small fishes—but,
what are they among so many?”
John 6:9
We know the Lord God is a mighty God,
All-knowing and all-powerful is He;
He spoke everything into existence,
From the moon to the mountains and the seas.
Before there was time our God did exist—
This One, with no beginning or end.
And because of His great love for sinners like us
To this earth His dear Son He did send.
Unlimited in power was Jesus, the Savior of men,
And there was nothing He could not do;
However, one day He “borrowed” the lunch of a lad—
Five loaves and of the fish, only two.
Yet, to this One sent down in love
The small lunch was no great problem—
For He’s the God of the impossible,
Who knows our problems and can solve them.
So often in life we idolize the mighty,
The wealthy, beautiful and such;
But our Lord says such things soon fade away
And over them we shouldn’t care too much.
Instead, He’s chosen the simple things in life
To do miraculous deeds;
Why, He’s chosen to choose simple folks like us
To help those around us in such great need.
Our gifts may be few in comparison to others
And our talents—oh so small
Yet, still the Father can use them—
Our “loaves” and “fishes” and all.
That’s why we should always surrender
Every part of our lives to His care. . .
For He can take little and make of it much
By reminding us He loves us and is always there.
