March 19 Devotion

As those among us who often work with children can testify, no matter how well prepared you are to teach the Bible lesson, children will often take over, control and add their own spin to theology. The story of the “feeding of the 5,000” was read to the kids in Children’s Church on a recent Sunday. Their illuminating comments follow.

God needs faith, and all the other people, like us, to do miracles.

You can learn a lesson from this because Jesus can help you with your schoolwork. When you are nervous and your stomach feels queasy, you can pray and God will help you.

He knew that those disciples couldn’t buy any food. It would have cost a million dollars, and where was the store? He just wanted them to think. No regular guy could solve this problem by himself.

Jesus wasn’t showing off or trying to be powerful. He cared about the people who had walk so far.

Jesus sat the people down in groups so that they could talk and get to know each other better.

The little boy didn’t have very much to give, but he gave all he had. Just like the two-cent widow and the Little Drummer Boy.

The little boy was thankful that his mom had given him fish and bread. He was probably nervous and happy that he got to help people AND meet Jesus. I bet that the disciples gave him extra because the Lord really liked him providing it.

If you do good things for God, He will do good things for you.

The people ate until the tummies were full and they even had leftovers. Jesus sure has a lot of stuff for you.

JESUS DOESN’T LIKE PEOPLE TO BE HUNGRY.

Amen.
