12 I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.

JESUS VIEW ON ABUDANCE WHEN MEN SEE LACK
Luke 9:12 Now the day began to decline, and the Twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the crowds and send them away, so that they may go to the neighboring hamlets and villages and the surrounding country and find lodging and get a supply of provisions, for we are here in an uninhabited (barren, solitary) place.
13 But He said to them, You [yourselves] give them [food] to eat. They said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish — unless we are to go and buy food for all this crowd,
14 For there were about 5,000 men. And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Have them [sit down] reclining in table groups (companies) of about fifty each.
15 And they did so, and made them all recline.
16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven and [praising God] gave thanks and asked Him to bless them [to their use]. Then He broke them and gave them to the disciples to place before the multitude.
17 And all the people ate and were satisfied. And they gathered up what remained over — twelve [small hand] baskets of broken pieces. AMP
Matt 16:5 When the disciples reached the other side of the sea, they found that they had forgotten to bring any bread.
6 Jesus said to them, Be careful and on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves about it, saying, It is because we did not bring any bread.
8 But Jesus, aware of this, asked, Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? O you [men, how little trust you have in Me, how] little faith! AMP ↕↕↕
Matt 16:5 On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring along bread.
6 In the meantime, Jesus said to them, “Keep a sharp eye out for Pharisee-Sadducee yeast.”
7 Thinking he was scolding them for forgetting bread, they discussed in whispers what to do.
8 Jesus knew what they were doing and said, “Why all these worried whispers about forgetting the bread? Runt believers!
9 Haven’t you caught on yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves of bread and the five thousand people, and how many baskets of fragments you picked up?
10 Or the seven loaves that fed four thousand, and how many baskets of leftovers you collected?
11 Haven’t you realized yet that bread isn’t the problem? The problem is yeast, Pharisee-Sadducee yeast.”
12 Then they got it: that he wasn’t concerned about eating, but teaching — the Pharisee-Sadducee kind of teaching.
