BOA #60 - The Trust Test - Count to Eight! - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Noted scholar Dale Bruner describes the disciples when they realize Jesus has asked them to feed a huge crowd and all they have are five loaves of bread and two fish this way: “The disciples think they have ‘nothing here’ except these seven items. But they are counting only the realities that impress them, not the Reality that should impress them the most. Disciples should always count to eight.”
Jesus works with what you bring to him beginning with your own life. In whatever situation you are in, be alert to your equivalent of the five loaves and two fish, offer them to Jesus, count to eight and trust him.
