Blessed, Broken, Given – Devotional on Matthew 15:36–38

In the feeding of the four thousand, Jesus blesses, breaks, and gives the bread to the disciples—who then give it to the people. Everyone eats. Everyone is satisfied. And there’s more left over than when they started.

That moment isn’t just about provision—it’s a picture of how God works with us. He blesses us, yes. He gives us, yes. But often, He breaks us first—not to harm us, but to prepare us.

In this devotional, you’ll hear a personal story of how God used a season of breaking to strip away pride, restore identity, and create a new purpose. The truth is: God blesses, then breaks, and then gives us to the world so that others might be satisfied in Him.

Reflection Questions:
• Have you ever resisted a season of breaking that God was trying to use for your growth?
• What area of your life feels broken right now—and could it be part of God’s blessing in disguise?

Challenge for Today: Write down one area of your life that feels broken. Ask God how He might be preparing to give you through it, and share part of your story with someone who needs to know brokenness doesn’t disqualify them.
