What We Have is Enough

In reading Matthew 14 today, I realized something very profound for my own life. I know that often times, I feel as though I don't have anything to offer God, and so I try to manufacture, scheme, get something together to offer to him that is "more" than I started with. In all my work and scheming I always come up with something that is mediocre and not the quality or character of what I really want to offer to God.

In vs. 17-18 the disciples told Jesus that they only had 5 loaves and 2 fish. They didn't try to scrounge around, or go purchase more, or try to make a deal with the bakery in town...they told Jesus what they had. All they had to do was bring it to Jesus, He said, "Bring them here to me." Nothing profound or crazy, just entrusting the little they had to God, and He made it multiply more than they probably ever dreamed.

What little bit is God asking you to offer to Him today that He is going to multiply to blow your mind? Don't try to scheme to come up with something that you think might be better, just give what you have to God and watch him multiply it!
