It's Dinner Time

At the end of a long day, the disciples wanted to send the crowd home, so that the people could buy their dinner in the nearby towns.  There were thousands of people who had come out to listen to Jesus teach all day long.  "You feed them!" replied Jesus.  "With what?" replied the disciples.  "What have you got?" asked Jesus.  After the disciples looked around, they came back and said, "We've got five loaves of bread, and two fish."  "Tell the people to sit down in rows of 50 and 100," Jesus instructed the disciples.  Jesus then prayed for the meal and began to pass it out until all 5,000 plus men had eaten until they were satisfied.  The disciples then collected 12 baskets of left over bread and fish.

Often times, we are told to bring whatever we have to Jesus, and He will multiply it.  But we seem to think of this from a material standpoint.  But let me challenge you to think of it from a time perspective, for in this day and age, we are all challenged with a lack of time.  "I don't have any time for this or that," we say.  But maybe you have a ten minute block on every third Wednesday that is open.  Let me challenge you to bring that time to Jesus, and give it to Him.  And let's see what He does with what little we have to offer.  Can He touch lives with your ten minutes?  I can assure you that not only can He, but He will.
