Thank God

Today is a new beginning. This is my 101st blog and I am so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to share my heart with Him and others.

Many times we can get caught up in what we don't have that we miss the blessings that we do possess. One thing right now is "I need more money. I have more bills than I do income, if I could just have more money I would be okay." We are so focused on the "more" that we miss that we have "money". We are so focused on the "bigger" that we miss that we have a "house". What we do have or don't have is that our real problem it is just a distraction that the enemy uses to block us from seeing what God has already given us. As I woke up today God revealed to me that the little things produce big results.


READ John 6:5-13

When Jesus saw the multitude and wanted to feed them. His disciples looked at their lack and saw no way to help the crowd with their need. The disciples we so focused on the crowd that they could not see the provision. A young boy had two fish and five loaves of bread. Think about that for a moment. That is a lot of food for a man nevertheless a young boy. To the boy he was given up a lot. To the disciples because of the five thousand people it was nothing. Jesus took what they had and thanked God for what was given. By having a thankful spirit God took the "little" and produced enough food to feed the five thousand and have 12 baskets full of excess food. When we thank God for what we do have God performs miracles before our eyes. The enemy wants us to concentrate on our lack but God wants us to see what He has given us and be thankful. When we are thankful it opens the door to receive more of God. Thank God for everything and watch the Hand of God work through your life. God bless you.
