Matthew 14:18. “He said, ‘bring them hither to Me.’”
WHAT DO YOU HAVE? [vs.1-13] Whatever you have is valuable to Him: For John, it was the voice of the prophet. He warned and entreated men to turn from their sin, His call to them all was, “Repent.” But when sin is condemned, men resent those who speak; And will try to find some way to get out. They silenced the voice when John’s life Herod took. But his message still sounds with a shout.
[vs.14-21] What do you have for the Master to use? Is there a need you alone can fulfill? Five loaves and two fish, an opportunity to seize; A young boy gives – and the multitude’s filled. The Lord gladly took what he willingly offered, And used it to the glory of God. When we give back to God, what He’s made to prosper, Then there’s no doubting that He is my Lord.
[vs.22-36] When our faith that seems strong, when we walk on the land, It is tested in the valley and sea; That is when in full confidence we stretch out our hand, And He acts quickly to rescue me. God is willing to use us, though our effort seems weak, And the cost may not seem to be much. To give what we have and His honor to seek – He makes large things real, from small, with His touch.
“Father, I pray that the little things I have to give, may in some way be used for Thy glory. May they be blessed by Thee and a help to others as we seek to meet needs and serve our blessed Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
