Jesus can do the impossible, and in His hands, our meager offerings grow exponentially! When we trust and rely on Him for all things, nothing is out of the question. These are the important and memorable truths that we can take from the remarkable story of the feeding of the 5,000. From just a couple of fish and five loaves, Jesus fed a multitude. He cares for our needs and will always provide for them, even in unexpected ways. This message reminds children that everything we have comes from God, and we can lean on Him always. 

This miraculous feeding story found in Matthew 14 is a powerful and important reminder that Jesus supplies all of our needs. He cares for our bodies as well as our souls, and promises to provide for us. We might think that some tasks are out of our hands, but nothing is too hard for Him. When we are willing to offer whatever we have to the Lord, He can multiply and use it for His glory!
