Your “Not Enough” Becomes More Than Enough with God

 Man’s Inability Is The Lord’s Opportunity

Joh 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

Jesus and his disciples are faced with a massive crowd of people who are hungry and need to be fed. The disciples are concerned about how they can possibly provide for so many people, as there are about 5,000 men, not counting women and children.

The Power of Being Available

The key insights about service from this passage include:

• Willingness Matters More Than Quantity: The boy did not calculate whether his lunch was "enough". He simply made it available.

You are encouraged to offer what they have to the Lord, trusting that even a little can make a substantial difference when combined with purpose and faith. When you focus on being available for service, you become part of a greater purpose, your inabilities or capacity no longer become factors.
