THROUGH ME
“It was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.” – John 6:32
Your future is brighter than your past. God will provide.
I
left The Feast with these words in my head. The talk revolved around
not worrying about your finances because God would provide. (That God
provides for our needs was not new to me, but for some reason I went
home from The Feast a bit happier than usual.)
The
next day, I received an e-mail from a friend, from whom I have not
heard in a while. He asked if he could borrow money. He said he’d just
lost his job, has a new baby and needs to pay his rent. It was not a
small amount but it was something I had at my disposal. I was not sure
if I should lend him the money but I remembered — God will provide! So,
my friend and I met up and I wholeheartedly handed him the money.
Only
then did I realize why I left the Feast happier than usual. It’s not
because I knew that God would provide for me. That’s not new. I was
happier because as God used Moses to give bread, God will provide for someone else through me.Pepper Bruce (pepper.bruce@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:
Have you been God’s hand today?
Lord, let me be an instrument of Your generosity.
