" But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.”(Luke 9:13)
What is there in our psyche sometimes that always looks at the seeming scarcity of what we have instead of seeing the possibilities of using what we have.
The disciples seem to have a hold on their reality. Hey best case scenario we've only got 5 loaves and two fish at the most. They also seem to see one solution, we could go buy more, but I don't think they saw that as a real option.
Jesus of course has another option, offer what you and see what can be done with it. Sometimes great things happen from small things because we look at the bigger picture. That is one of Jesus' invitations to see the bigger picture and not get distracted by minutia and negative thinking.
Most of what we have in life is finite, luckily we have a God who is infinite.
Blessings,
