Be Fruitful...and Multiply

From Our Pastor's Desk

One of my favorite themes in the Bible is God taking something small and making something ginormous out of it.  God took a handful of dust and made a man.  He took a rib and made a woman.

He took a sling and a stone and made a giant-slaying machine.  Luke 9:16-17 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

And  they did eat, and were all filled: and there was  taken up of fragments that remained to them  twelve baskets.

The disciples  worried — we only have five small loaves and  two fishes! Whatever will we do?? Five loaves  and two fishes could never feed the multitudes in  the natural realm! But we have a  God who is in the multiplication  business!

He works on an entirely different mathematical equation than we are accustomed to — He takes the little we offer and turns it into more than we could fathom! How often do we feel as if we have little to offer?

The Lord is interested in everything we have to give, even if it seems minuscule to our eyes!  Let’s not be afraid to offer up our gifts, talents, abilities, accomplishments and material things that we may find insignificant.

They are not! When we give up even the littlest of things to the Lord, He brings forth an abundance! Jeremiah 30:19  And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be  few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

As we release our seeds to our God in faith, may He multiply back to us that we shall not be few, in Jesus Name. Amen

You will have good success this 2020.

Remain blessed.
