Matthew 14:15-2115 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
In the feeding of the 5,000, or the feeding of the multitudes, (Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17 and John 6:5-15) we see that Jesus gave the food to the disciples and the disciples then the disciples passed out the food to the crowd. What if the disciples had just taken the food Jesus gave them, thanked Him for His provision and sat down to eat? I'm sad to say that's exactly what a lot of us are doing today, taking God's blessing, thanking Him for it and keeping it to ourselves.
We are to be the hands and feet of Christ, we are to love His bride (His people) as He does. I assure you, when your life is over, God will not accept your thanks for His blessings if you did not bless others with them. Think of what you have been blessed with, whether it be a physical gift like, money, food, a house, a car, or talents and spiritual gifts, and think of how you can share these blessings.
