Dear Father, I learned something new about the miracle where Jesus fed over five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish. The Scripture says, "And he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude... And they did all eat, and were filled... Despite the detailed and explicit narration of this event, and its repetition in the other Gospels, we still do not know where the multiplication took place. When or how did five become five thousand? Is this not the same principle that applies to growth in trees? We plant and water, yet we rarely witness the moment they sprout. The praying was evident, and so was the breaking, but whence came the multiplication? Sometimes we experience discouragement not because we do not pray or believe, but because we look for a multiplication that may not be visible in proportion to our input. Our obvious inability to track growth often discourages us from remaining faithful to the very process that produces growth. I see how this applies to our careers, ministries, businesses, and even our personal growth pursuits. In seeking a visible demonstration to reassure ourselves, we forget that the process of multiplication begins in invisibility before it manifests as evidence. Help us, Father, to remain faithful to the process even when the evidence is not yet visible.
