More Leftovers

In reading the book of Mark I believe that God wants us to really grasp the magnitude of just how powerful his leftovers are!

My post from yesterday was out of Mark chapter 6, Leftovers. This is a reoccurring theme in this book. Mark 7 tells the story of a woman who claims that even the leftovers from Jesus healing all of the Jews is enough to save her daughter! Mark 8 Jesus has another go around with feeding thousands of people from only a few loaves of bread.

In all of these situations there is no hope for us if we keep trying to do things on our own. We go to work and try to make money to pay our bills. We do what we think we need to do in our relationships with spouses, children, family and friends. We make life choices on our own out of our own understanding.

None of it adds up to what Jesus wants to give us and do for us. When we give him everything he gives us even more!! Remember today that God wants you to have the very best!! It just might be some leftovers...
