His Hand Meets All Needs

Matthew 15:32-34 
32 Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”  33 Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”  34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”  And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”

Jesus loves us enough to meet our needs (not just unwarranted desires, but deficits).  When we have nothing, He provides from what little we already possess.  By using what we have and multiplying it to meet the needs of others, we experience grace and so run and do not faint.  When we see the impossibility and ask how we can meet so great a need, we only need to look to the Master's hand who alone is able.
