"You give them something to eat," Mark 6:37.
Should send them away to find food elsewhere. I mean, What have we got to share? Lots and lots of people, against so few resources, practically none. So many out there, and so little in here. We're running out of money here. We won't have any food for us if we just give it away willy-nilly. Maybe could share with one or two, but if you give to one then others will want some, too. No, can't afford to feed so many others. Better hold on to what we got. In fact, better to spend on good defense. (Like my new slingshot? the best, made in Parthia!) That way nobody can take what little we have. And there are just too many others. Anyways, all's I've got left is five loaves of bread and a couple of fish. Where's the rest coming from - God? Ha!
As we reflect on God's generosity and bounty, we give thanks out of our poverty for the riches he has given us in Christ. Remind a brother or sister today that they inherit the wealth of heaven.
