Resources

Today is May 1, we end school May 17, one of my students leaves for a week next week. Needless to say, today was a panicky day. Some real fear took hold of me today that time would run out and the kids will not have met Tebow. I looked around me and saw no available way for this to be answered...despite everything God has done and shown me.
     I had my devotions later than usual today. I asked God to show me something that indicated He hadn't forgotten this request. It came in the early verses of John 6 with the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. Jesus asked Philip what resources they had to feed so many people. Philip immediately began calculating all that was needed to feed the people and what they had. He was looking at the physical resources the disciples had on hand, which wasn't much. Philip, however, had overlooked one very important resource...Jesus. Jesus was ready to perform the miracle, He had planned to all along, He merely asked Philip to figure it out to give Philip's faith a chance to grow a bit. Not only was Jesus ready to perform the miracle, He provided the resources for it through the little boy's lunch of two fishes and five loaves.
     Nearly four months ago, God said ask, already knowing how He was going to bring this about. He said to ask to give my faith a chance to grow. With time so short, I, too, forgot one of my most important resources is God Himself. God has provided everything He needs to perform this miracle...letters, blogs, FB requests...and whatever else He needs, He'll provide that too.
     If God can perform the miracle, He can provide the means for it to happen as well.




p.s one other thing that came out my devotions was this statement in the study portion of my Bible, "Faith is an expectation for God to act"...God is truly going to do something miraculous. We have agreed in prayer, we have sought His will, He has confirmed in SO many ways this is His will, I trust that he will not go back on His Word or His promises and He will act to bring about a visit from Tim Tebow.
