Are you getting hungry? I’m starving! Not only that – I need a new computer, a new car. My TV is pushing a decade – time for an upgrade. I have so many needs, but there is only one thing needful. When I reexamine and rearrange my priorities, I can see my wants vs my needs. I can see my blessings. I can see how gracious my almighty God truly is at providing for me. I can respond in thanks. When Jesus fed the 5000 he provided a teachable moment for his disciples and for us. We not only have plenty to eat, but we have all that we need in life. Sometimes God might remove a blessing – bless me with less – so that I might more clearly see his gracious hand providing everything I need.
