There are moments in our life when our faith is tested with challenges to do the impossible.
Philip and the rest of the disciples thought that feeding the multitude was impossible. God often ministers through weakness. He does not always choose strong people so that He can use their strengths. He does not always select perfect people who always do things right in the eyes of men. He chooses weak and broken people so that He can demonstrate His power through their weakness.
God is not limited by our experience, credentials or resources. Sometimes, we limit ourselves in our undertakings and think we would rather keep doing what we do because it works and it’s safe. We often fear and worry.
How would we know if we remain in our comfort zones? Then we would never stop worrying and keep fearing.
But God delights in doing the unexpected. And when He does, a blanket of calm envelopes us. Our fears and worries vanish.
The boy’s bread and fish may have appeared to have been worth no more than P500 in today’s economy, but in the hands of Jesus it became priceless. God does not need anything to produce a miracle. After all, He made this whole world out of nothing.
God delights in taking the most insignificant thing to show His greatness.
He looks for a willing and obedient soul. We may not have more than a mustard seed of faith, but He will use it for something wonderful.
Let us never underestimate the small and seemingly insignificant! Think of the times we refrained from doing something for the Lord because we feel that what we have is insignificant or too little. Little is much when God is in it! He always provides.
The key to real happiness—whether little or much—give it all to God. Our faith and trust in Him will not only add to our happiness but multiply it.
