Provision 

I am incredibly grateful to have you as a part of Bette's Box of Blessings. Your presence and participation mean the world to me. Whether you choose to use the contents to bless others or to nurture your own soul, I am confident that you will find great value in each product. The treasures they hold are not just monetary, but more importantly, spiritual.

Speaking of nurturing, I titled this letter “Provision” and chose as this month’s theme verse the following passage. But first, a little context that will help you understand the thought behind this month’s Box of Blessings. 

Jesus had just performed the miracle of feeding the 5,000 using five loaves and two fish. Other than the resurrection, this is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. (John says “5,000 men.”Matthew adds, “…5,000 men besides women and children.” The custom at that time was to only count men when counting a large crowd, so we can be sure that there were a lot more than 5,000 that got fed!) And they had 12 baskets of leftovers! (Did you know that Jesus is a fan of leftovers? He said, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.” John 6:12)

The next day the crowd went looking for Jesus in Capernaum. It wasn’t lost on the people that Jesus fed the Jewish crowd just like Moses had fed the Israelites in the desert with the “manna miracle.”In fact, they quoted the Old Testament to Jesus (John 6:31), “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”Jesus’ response is our theme verse (John 6:35):

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty again.”
