Matthew 14:13-21, "Jesus withdrew by boat to a solitary place. Hearing this, the crowds followed Him on foot from the towns. When Jesus saw the crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
"As evening approached, the disciples came to Him saying it was getting late and for Him to send the crowds away so they could go eat.
"Jesus replied, 'You give them something to eat.' They answered, 'We only have five loaves of bread and two fish.' Jesus said, 'Bring them here to Me.
"Jesus directed the people to sit in the grass.
"Taking the five loaves and two fish, looking to heaven, Jesus gave thanks and broke the loaves.
"The disciples gave to the people. When they all ate and were satisfied, the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of left overs.
"The number of those who ate (from the five loaves and two fish multiplied by Christ) were five thousand men, besides women and children!"
What blessings have you received from Jesus Christ, beginning with salvation? Have you ever thought that even taking a breath of air is a blessing from Him! Praise our Almighty GOD for His provisions! Persevere! One day we will no longer have the struggles of a fallen world. Our eternity belongs with our Savior GOD where there will be no more sorrow, sickness, tiredness, or death! For, the former things will have passed away. Hallelujah!
Isaiah 65:17, "Behold, I (GOD) will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things (of this fallen universe) will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind!"
II Peter 3:13, "In keeping with His (GOD's) promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of the righteous."
Revelation 21:1-4, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away. (II Peter 3:12, 'The destruction of the heavens by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.') Now the dwelling of GOD is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people and He will be their GOD. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be NO MORE DEATH or mourning, crying or pain, for the old order of things will have passed away!"
Are you a part of GOD's eternity? You can be! Jesus paid your penalty for sin upon the Cross. All you need do is humbly come to Him asking His forgiveness of your sins. When you do, His Holy Spirit will direct your path and you will be His child forever with the joy of heaven's blessings of eternity waiting for you! Praise His Holy Name! Hallelujah to our King!
