Matthew 14:17
And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
Only!
What a limiting word.
Only puts a limit on where you can go – “I only have a half tank of gas!”
Only instructs you on how much you can spend – “I only have three dollars.”
Only holds you prisoner to anything else but what you see.
It is written, we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor 5:7
Faith moves beyond only and opens up all possibilities.
Jesus did not see only five loaves and two fish; He saw over 5,000 people needing something to eat.
He saw people needing their faith strengthened.
He had faith to provide both.
He did!
