Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
If you are reading this mini message, you are one who wants to be of service in the world, to build a “house” on the rock, not on the sand to be washed away by some “Katrina” storm. You want to live for a purpose, so when you have to be gone, there will be something left behind that will be like good seed to bear “fruit” for time and for eternity.
If you are asking the Lord to make you to be such a blessing, you can be sure He will answer. It’s part of His New Covenant promises to Abraham’s faith-children: “You shall be a blessing” wherever you go (Gen 12:2). Once Jesus and His disciples were with a large crowd in a lonely place far from grocery stores or restaurants. It was late in the afternoon of a very busy day; Jesus had been teaching and healing the people and they had had no lunch. Now it was supper time and no food was available except one little boy’s lunch his mother must have prepared for him—a mere five barley buns and two small fish. The boy loved to hear Jesus speak, obviously would rather come to this meeting than play with his friends. He innocently offered his little to the disciples. They sere smart enough to tell Jesus what He should do—dismiss the crowd so they could go the villages and buy food. He replied, “YOU feed them!” They remonstrated with Him: this trifling bit is all we have! “Bring it to Me,” He said (I am sure He thanked the little boy!), took the boy’s lunch in His hands, thanked the Father for what they had, and proceeded to feed 5000+ people.
We can agree on one thing: there are multitudes everywhere, hungry for some living word from the Lord. The Master answers your prayer with this command: “Give ye them to eat!” (Mt 14:15-21, KJV). Share what little you have received from Him. He will bring you in contact with somebody, and you can know the thrill of being a waiter (like the disciples were!) serving the bread of life to people, or to change the metaphor, know the thrill of being a pipe through which flows the water of life to thirsty people.
