Day 1- 01 THE STORY

Jesus always had compassion for what people needed. One day, there were thousands of people who wanted to come learn from Him and see Him.
The disciples didn’t have any food to feed them. Look what Jesus did.
Read Matthew 14:13-21
How did Jesus feed the 5,000 people?
Did Jesus have more than enough to give?

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESSCan you imagine how amazed these people were when they saw God provide for them? God always provides for you what you need.
You just need to trust Him to do it.
Read Philippians 4:19
What does God promise that He will do for you? Do you believe that God will provide for your needs?

Day 3- 03 THE SOURCE

God is rich. Yep, you read that right. Everything in the earth and on the earth is His. He is not only rich but in control of all the earth’s riches. God does not keep His riches to Himself; He wants to share them with everyone.
Read Philippians 4:19 again
Where does God get His supply of things to help you?
Read Psalm 24:1
What does God own?

Day 4- 04 THE MOTIVE

God’s motive is to help you. He loves you and wants to provide for you. You might not get everything you want, but you will always have what you need.
If you need proof, look outside the United States.
God promises to take care of you.
Read Luke 12:24
How does God promise that He will take care of you?

GIVE IT A TRY!Think of the last time you were really hungry. Can you imagine feeling that every day of your life? There are millions of people every day who are hungry with nothing to eat. Ask your parents if you can sign up to serve food at a homeless shelter. If you can’t do that, take canned food to a shelter to give to others. God wants you to help people, just like He asked His disciples to help Him feed the 5,000.

Day 5- 05 CAUGHT IN THE ACTIf there is something you need, take some time to ask God for it. Remember, what you want and what you need are two very different things. If you don’t get something you asked for, then God probably thinks you need something else. HE will provide that too… trust Him.

Write down on your character sheet what you learned from the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000.
