I was reading the book of a fellow and talented writer, James Collins, The Overcomer, and he spoke about the parable of the Loaves & Fishes.

Before I proceeded beyond the verse, to the book’s expansion on the subject, I felt compelled to write this:

I went to help my mom with a heavy task last month, and I had to drive a LOT of miles to do so. When I returned from the trip, I’d used less fuel than I would have expected.

My odometer should have had about fifty more miles on it than it did. Now I could have reset the trip clock inadvertently, but I’d been on fire for the Lord, and I THINK He caused my car to perform supernaturally.

You may think this is absurd, or at least unlikely, but I have seen Him work in this way, and while I recently stumbled, and might not see such favor for a while (and I’m trying to repent and mend my ways), I feel He was giving me His approval at the time.

Just a thought, take it as you will.

Luke 9:10-17 New International Version

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”

13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)

But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
