“he blessed them” [Luke 9:16]

“he blessed them”. If the Son of God gave thanks, should not we? Many of us might have thought it unnecessary to give thanks for so small a meal. The food was distributed only after the Lord had blessed it. It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and multiplies what we do. People need to receive what God has blessed. God’s blessing ensures no harm will befall or calamity overtake that will do them no good. The blessing of God is like an anointing of God that protects us in danger and gives us peace. It is like a table of good things laid and ready to partake when in the midst of our enemies.
May the “he blessed them” become “he blessed me” in your experience today.
