I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. John 6:11 NIV
I wondered what the formula was? Jesus asked the disciples how many loaves they had. He calculated the number of people, had everyone sit down, and then carefully, mathematically, meticulously divided the loaves and fishes so that everyone could eat until they were full and have exactly twelve basketfulls left over (one for every disciple). What was the formula? Did it involve calculus or algebra?
I can almost hear Jesus now....talking to the disciples...wiping the sweat from His brow..."Whew...glad there wasn't four hundred more people guys...we would have never fed them." This complicated seperation and multiplication procedure was obviously invented by a higher mind that most mathematicians I know.
NOT!!! Jesus didn't need math! He didn't need algebra or trigonometry or Betty Crocker's Recipes for a Large Family. Jesus used the power given to Him by His Father Almighty God. Jesus spoke it into existence and the people were fed. Jesus, by faith, told the people to sit down and what started as a small snack for a little boy, became a huge banquet for nearly 10,000 people. Jesus didn't need a formula, He is the formula!
Do you have anything in your life for which a little of Jesus could go a long way? Jesus is waiting to apply His miracles to your life, when we, the children of God, co-heirs with Jesus to the throne, will humbly seek Him and give Him priority in our lives.
What is the formula for the answer to your struggles today? My friend, make no mistake about it; the answer to the problem is Jesus!
