I was in a dilemma. My caring group (CG) head scheduled a council meeting at a time when my finances were tight. Because I had to limit my spending, I had no budget for my food. After much contemplation, I decided to attend anyway. I figured I could take a heavy lunch at home and bring crackers for snacks.
I was already at the restaurant where we were supposed to meet at 2 p.m. when my CG head texted that she would be late. By 3 p.m., I was starving. Although I had crackers, it wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger. The sight and aroma of the food from the restaurant made me even hungrier. It was torture for me!
My CG head arrived at 3:30 p.m., apologetic for her tardiness. She said, "Since I'm late, I'll treat you all to a snack." Jesus was able to feed and satisfy the multitude even if they initially had a measly five loaves and two fish. All I had that day were crackers but the Lord turned it into a full meal. That experience taught me not to worry over anything because the Lord provides.
REFLECTION:
"My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
Lord, You are my Great Provider. I trust that You will provide for my every need.
