Do you face 15,000 problems? Before you count yourself out, turn and look at the One standing next to you. Christ can help you do the impossible. You simply need to give him what you have and watch him work.<\/p>\n

John 6:11 says, \u201cJesus took the loaves.\u201d This is the story of the day that Jesus fed the 5,000 men plus women and children. He didn\u2019t have to use the loaves. He made manna fall for the Israelites. Instead, he chose to use the single basket of the small boy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in your basket? All you have is a wimpy prayer, give it. All you have is a meager skill, use it. All you have is the strength for one step, take it. God used three nails and a crude cross to redeem humanity. If God can turn a basket into a buffet, don\u2019t you think he can do something with your five loaves and two fishes of faith? Remember, you are never alone.<\/p>\n
