What HE knows HE will do

The following is an excerpt from a message given by Stuart Briscoe in the series he did on "Heroes of the Faith." The particular message out of Matther 14 (John the Baptist is beheaded, Jesus feeds the 5,000 with a few fish and pieces of bread, Jesus walks on water). The following excerpt is from the section on the feeding of the 5,000 men and there families.

"In the work of Christ it is what HE knows HE will do that is important."

"[You see] Human resources, however limited, willingly offered, divinely empowered are more than adequate to achieve divine ends."

"Do we look at the enormity of human need confronting the church today. And when we look at the enormity of the need do we say, 'Send them away. They are not our problem,' or do we say, ' Ok, you've told us they are our problem [Jesus told the disciples to feed them] but what in the world can we do,' or do we look at it a say, 'Our resources are abysmally limited, the need is utterly enormous. What in the world can we do among so many except for one factor. We realize that Jesus Christ is the key. And HE knows what HE will do. And therefore we will willingly offer our limited human resources and anticipate that he will divinely empower our limited resources and prove they are move than adequate to achieve what HE had in mind'."

"Is my vision broad enough to embrace this principle?"
