“We have only five loaves of bread and two fish.” Luke 9:13
“We have only …” Little did the disciples know what Jesus would do with only five loaves and two fish. The Bible tells us that everyone in the crowd ate—and there were twelve basketfuls of leftovers. And the men alone numbered five thousand.
Perhaps when you give to your church or some other ministry, your thinking is like that of the disciples: “I can give only. …” But let me challenge you to do just that! Give what you can give—and give in faith.
After all, Jesus had only a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish, but in His hands God multiplied it, and it became a huge feast for the crowd. In the same way God is able to take even a very small amount of money and use it to accomplish His purposes—if we dedicate it to Him.
Jesus gave everything for your salvation, even His life. Have you given everything back to Him in return—including your finances? Make it your goal to serve Christ in every way you can, including with your money.
We will hold every earthly gift in open palms, Lord, allowing You to use them as You see fit. Every good and perfect gift comes from You, and to trust You with them is an act of worship on our part.
