Enough

He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And they said, “Seven.” (Mark 8:5 NASB)

Jesus could have miraculously provided for the people by other means (just pick it off the ground as He did for all Israel [Exodus 16] or have the birds bring deliveries as He did for Elijah [I Kings 17]), but in this miracle as well as the feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6) He took what His disciples had and multipled it to be abundantly more than enough. Why? I think He was training His disciples – and in turn through the recording of the events, training us. Training us that, though He could do it alone, He desires that we take our part in joining Him in the service of our Heavenly Father.

He will accomplish the work, he only asks that we do the work. It is His provision, His power, His purpose, my role is "Yes, Sir! Right away, Sir!"
