Need More?

Luk 9:17
(17) And they ate and were all filled. And twelve hand-baskets of fragments of that left over to them were taken up.

Jesus had just fed thousands with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. All were filled, not just sustained. The disciples were instructed to collect the fragments, which they did. That which was left was no small amount. What was the deal with that? After all, did GOD miscalculate?

First, the fragments 'were' collected, meaning nothing was wasted. Secondly, all ate as much as they wanted, yet there was more to eat.

Have you ever been filled? The Greek word here is 'cortazo', and it can literally mean 'gorged'. We're talkin'... filled. As in, can't handle ANY more!

For me, there are times when I literally think I cannot take any more. Sometimes, spiritually speaking, I feel as though if anything 'more' occurs, I'll explode. But I revel in the knowledge that He has more. He IS more than I will ever fully get.

For a lost man, a drink of Living Water is an amazing thing. But sometimes, those of us who haul around buckets look and think, that poor guy has so far to go. At the same time, there's a fellow standing in a cistern of Living Water thinking that very same thing about our bucket-toting friends. And then there is the guy wading in the stream... and... is that the sound of waves crashing?
