Matthew 14:17-19
They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two
fish. He said, Bring them here to Me. Then He ordered the crowds to
recline on the grass; and He took the five loaves and the two fish, and,
looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves
and handed the pieces to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to
the people.
One of the biggest mistakes we can make in life is to focus on what we don't have or have lost and fail to take an inventory of what we do have. When Jesus desired to feed five thousand men—plus women and children—the disciples said all they had was a little boy's lunch, which consisted of five small loaves of bread and two fish. They assured Him it was not enough for a crowd the size they had. However, Jesus took the lunch and multiplied it. He fed thousands of men, women, and children and had twelve baskets of leftovers (see Matthew 14:15-21).
If we will just give God what we have, He will use it and give us back more than we had to begin with. The Bible says that God created everything we see out of "things that are unseen," so I have decided that if He can do that, surely He can do something with my little bit—no matter how unimpressive it is.
Lord, thank You for all You have given me. I ask You to use it for Your glory and to provide all that I need. Amen.
