God can do a lot with your little when you choose to give it.
Yes. There are people who can give a whole lot more than you can.
Yes. You want to give a lot more than you are able to right now.
Don’t let that paralyze you into doing nothing!
But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!” “How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.” They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.”
Mark 6:35-37 (nlt)
There were 5,000 men who needed fed not to mention the women and children, so the actual number was exceedingly more than 5,000 people, and all the food they could scrounge up from the crowd was five loaves of bread and two fish. That was tiny in comparison to the need.
You could look at that and say, “Why bother even giving this?” In fact, one account of this records the disciples as saying, “…what is that among so many?” But when you offer to Him what you do have right now no matter how tiny it may seem, miracles can happen.
God can do a lot with your little when you choose to give it.
There’s no way that small child (or the disciples for that matter) knew what would happen when he chose to give what was left of his little lunch. He just offered it in faith and Jesus did the rest.
The end result of your offering is not up to you. What is up to you is your faith. Your trust. Your obedience. The rest is up to Him.
Say this with me:
God can do a lot with my little when I choose to give it.
The outcome is not in your hands but the offering is. What will you do with it?
You’ll never see what miracles He can perform with your little until you release it in faith.
