Meet Him Where You Are

In reading through Matthew 6 recently, I was so impressed again by the way Jesus handled the 5000+ when it came time to feed them. As leaders we always need to be aware of the needs of our women. Jesus saw that the people would be hungry and tired after being out all day listening to His teachings, so He decided to feed them. He looked for food and discovered there was a small amount of fish and bread, so He took that and directed the people to sit down in small groups. He held up the food, asked God to bless it, and there was enough for all of the people there that day, as well as 12 baskets left over for the disciples. It is so encouraging to see how God can meet the needs of the people—and He can do that for us as well. When you discern that someone has a need in your group, gather the women together, sit down and lift the prayer toward Heaven, and allow God to meet her needs.
