Matthew
15:29–37
At that time: Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee,
and he went up the mountain, where he sat down. Great crowds came to him,
bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the mute, and many others.
They put them at his feet, and he cured them, so that the crowd was amazed when
they saw the mute speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind
seeing. And they praised the God of Israel. Then Jesus called his disciples to
him and said, “I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me
now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away
hungry, for they might faint on the way.” Jesus asked them, “How many loaves
have you?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” Then ordering the crowd to
sit down on the ground, he took the seven loaves and the fish; and after giving
thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave
them to the crowds. And all of them ate and were filled; and they took up the
broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

What problem might I bring to
Jesus today? And how does Jesus deal with it?
Everything is for sharing;
how might I be glad to share what I can? What do my bread and fish look like?
