John 6:12 NKJV "So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”
It's noteworthy that Jesus didn't permit waste, even when the food was a result of a miracle. Understand this: how we manage the things that God has given to us determines if we will continue to receive same from God!
Jesus Himself told a parable: Luke 16:1-2 NKJV “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’" In other words, a waster will eventually be disconnected from his source!
The prodigal son wasted all his possessions and then became a beggar. Even when you have too much, don't waste things, instead give to the needy people around you who are not as blessed as you are. Spend wisely, be a good manager of whatever God has given to you. Remember this: God won't give you more until He trusts you to manage them well.
