Who's Eating Your Lunch?

Who’s Eating Your Lunch?



I enjoy golfing- if you have been around me for any length of time, or attend any of our services- you know this. I have come to a point in my “golf life”- I now realize that when you put a golf club in my hand you will get one result, but when you put that same golf club in say…Tiger Woods’ hand- something completely different happens.

In the book of John chapter 6 :1-14- you find the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 (more likely 15,000 if they counted men, women and children). Now when I would normally read this story- I would just focus on the amount of people and all that was left over from just 2 small fish and 5 small loaves of bread. But the other week I was reading in John and came across this story and something else caught my attention- “Andrew said…this boy has his lunch with him”- this “boy- has his lunch with him”…hmmmmm. I started to think about who this young boy was, what was his story, and what is his significance. And without writing you a 5 page blog- let me sum it up- the boy found Jesus, he gave him all that he had- his lunch- the thing that was to sustain him, the thing that was going to keep him going- and he gave it to the hands of this man from Nazareth. Jesus takes the lunch- the bible says he places it in his hands- and blesses it.

You see- I believe when we take what sustains us, when we give all that we have to God- our talents, our gifts, our dreams- he puts his hands on them and blesses them- taking what is our natural ability, and putting his “super” on it- and making it supernatural. So the question of the day is- “who’s eating your lunch?”- have you given all you have to the hands of God and let him do with them what he sees fit- because you never know- through you he may be able to perform a miracle that will meet the needs of thousands of others.



For Him,
