Little into more than enough

“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” (John 6:9)

What God can do with little offered to Him

Jesus took a little boy’s small lunch of a few loaves and fishes and multiplied them to feed thousands.

“Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).  Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.” (John 6:10-11)

More than enough!

Jesus not only took care of the current need, but there were also baskets of leftovers He didn’t want to go to waste!

“When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.” (John 6:12-13)

Therefore 

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38)

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” (2 Cor. 9:8)
