Daily Lenten Devotion 3/23

“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?”

What’s a few fish sandwiches among thousands of people? A miracle, that’s what. It was a miracle because hungry people got nourishment. It was a miracle because there were more people than could be fed with the meager fare, yet everyone was willing to share. It was a miracle because Jesus inspired a few hours of communal living and sharing that made people think more about their neighbors than their own satisfaction.

What miracles can we perform today by being in community with others? What miracles can we be a part of simply by sharing the resources we have? What miracles are Jesus Christ calling you to join in today?
