Nothing is Impossible
Jesus is an example of what all Christian leaders should aspire to be. It breaks my heart, in the age we are in, to see some leaders try and take advantage of their flock through extortionist methods. There are a number of Christian leaders, across the world, who do not have their congregations' best interests at heart. Instead of caring for their wellbeing, I have witnessed some leaders attempt to finesse money and possessions out of the people who have chosen to follow them. This is a prime example of members of the flock being led by wolves in sheep's clothing. Fortunately, all hope is not lost. God is not blind to what is happening. There will come a time where all works of the enemy will be exposed.
Jesus was so concerned about the wellbeing of the people who had been with him for three days. He thought of them before He thought of His own wellbeing. He did not want to send them away without feeding them because he worried that they would collapse along the way. Please bear in mind that there were over four thousand people that had followed Jesus for three days. To feed them, He would have needed larger amounts of food. But that did not move Him. When the disciples expressed their exasperation at the thought of trying to supply such a large crowd with food, Jesus was not moved.
He simply asked the disciples about the number of loaves of bread they had. There were only seven loaves of bread and a few small fish. Jesus did not throw his hands up in the air and declare that all hope was lost. He simply took the loaves of bread and the fish, gave thanks, broke them and instructed the disciples to share them among the people.
Everyone ate until they were satisfied. They didn't just eat enough to get them going. They ate until they were content. There were seven basketfuls of leftovers.
It is accounts like these that should give you comfort and know that with God, everything is always settled. When you find yourself without options in a situation, take heart and know that God is with you. Nothing is impossible for God.
Absolutely nothing.
