Bible Commentary

John 6:12

God's provision is generous — and He cares about stewardship. 'Let nothing be lost' echoes John 6:39, where Jesus says He will lose none of those the Father gives Him.

Memory phrase: Let nothing be lost.

Talk about it: What do you do with leftover food at home?

Prayer: Lord, help me value what You give me and never waste Your good gifts.
