Can Do Thinking

> A large crowd of people followed Jesus to the mountain side. It was time to eat and no obvious food source was available. Thinking out loud Jesus said, "What can we do to feed all these people?"Phillip said, "There is not enough money to buy food for this many people. The implication is there is nothing we can do. Andrew spoke up and said,"well, there is a little boy here with five barley loaves and two fish." His mind set was to look at what they did have and start with that. ….one response was to name what they could not do thus discouraging any solution. The other response was to look at what they did have no matter how small. That mind set opened the door for Jesus to start meeting the need. …one said that we do not have enough money…the other said that we do have this food available…..maybe that is a faith statement that opened his mind to the miracle of God's response. I like the fish and bread way of responding…
