HERO DEVO ~ Day 3

I hope you all forgive the roughness of these.  I am sure they might be a grammatical nightmare. They are written quickly but with lots of heart and good intentions!  THANKS!

          A Drop in the Ocean

Do you ever feel like what you do isn’t worth doing?  LIKE, why bother???  Honestly, I feel that almost every day.  Why bother making the beds or sweeping the floors no one really notices but me, and they are messy again with the hour!  Why bother counting the calories?  Why bother buying the cream cheese brand that is 50cents cheaper?  Does it really matter?  Does it really add up?  There are so many ways to feel discouraged if we lose our focus. 

Reading John 6: 1-13 again makes me see these things in a new way!!!!

 ¹Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), ²and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick. ³Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.⁴The Jewish Passover Feast was near.

 ⁵When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" ⁶He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
 ⁷Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages^[a] would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
 ⁸Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, ⁹"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"
 ¹⁰Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. ¹¹Jesus 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.
 ¹²When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." ¹³So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

Jesus can take a no name boy’s meager offerings that might feed a couple of people and makes it MORE THAN ENOUGH for 5 Thousand.  So, he can take your “WHY BOTHER” situations and turn them into real miracles!  After all, here Jesus is in real SUPERHERO form!!!  But, I love seeing it as he turned this boy’s mere drop in the bucket to exponential blessing and abundance.
There are so many ways this translates into our lives today.  GOD can take and turn the home blessings we do into so many blessings and abundance for HIS glory and our amazement!!!  HOW COOL!!
What are some ways that you feel like you merely scratch the surface so why bother????
Maybe you feel that way about teaching these children at VBS or during Sunday School?  Can you imagine the ways he can grow your offerings in service to him?  GOD IS TRULY AMAZING!  HE is THE SUPERHERO!
