Reading Assignment for April 11th-17th
Psalms 99-105
Exodus 21-25
John 3-7

Five loaves and two fish, but what were they among so many? Have you ever felt like you just didn't have what it takes? Have you ever felt like you just didn't measure up? Have you ever felt as though your best efforts just weren't enough? If you are like most people, the answer to these questions is a resounding YES! All of us face feelings of inadequacy from time to time, and to tell the truth, we're right; we aren't enough. Isn't it liberating to know that God realizes that we aren't enough as well? Psalm 103:14 says, "...He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust." I am blessed to serve a God who knows my limitations!

The amazing thing however is this, despite our limitations, God still wants to use us to meet the need at hand. So what do we do when the task at hand seems far beyond our powers? The answer is this; we give what we do have to the Lord. When we give ourselves to Him, insufficient as we are, He receives us to Himself. Just like the five loaves and two fish He will take us, break us, bless us, and make us enough. If you find that you are discouraged by your own limitations, remember that you serve an limitless God. Give all that you are to Him, and He will accomplish through you all that He desires to do, by His power! The Lord bless and use you this week.
