"Trust Him with Your Little"
"Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?" But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. —John 6:5–6 (ESV)
All of us have moments when we look at what we have—our limited time, talents, and treasures—and conclude it’s simply not enough. We quickly see our limitations rather than possibilities, focusing on scarcity instead of abundance. Like Philip, faced with feeding thousands, we get overwhelmed by the reality in front of us. Yet, those are the very moments Jesus invites us to trust Him. He calls us to look beyond what feels insufficient and trust that He sees potential and purpose where we see only limitation.
In the story of the feeding of the five thousand, there was a boy who saw differently. With limited resources—just five small barley loaves and two fish—he believed enough to place what he had in Jesus' hands. Do you remember what it felt like as a child when anything seemed possible?
Because a child wasn’t held back by the thought of impossibility, a miracle took place. But Jesus wasn’t caught by surprise—He already knew exactly what He planned to do. He sees beyond our limited vision, beyond our circumstances, to what He intends to accomplish through our simple trust and surrender.
We see here a timeless principle: simple faith in entrusting Jesus with the little we have yields far more in His hands than it ever could in our own. Jesus specializes in taking "little" and making it "much," turning the seemingly insignificant into something profoundly significant.
God invites us to shift our perspective. He doesn't want us selectively choosing what we entrust to Him—He desires our wholehearted trust with everything we have, believing He already sees the miracle, the purpose, and the victory beyond what we can imagine.
And when we trust Him completely, He multiplies our little beyond our wildest expectations. His miracles aren't meant for our benefit alone; they're designed to bless others through us. When we withhold our trust, we don't just rob ourselves of the miracle—we rob others as well. Because a boy was willing to trust Jesus, thousands were blessed that day, and countless more through history have witnessed God's abundant provision.
Today, let's trust God with our little. The miracle is already secured. Jesus already knows what He plans to do. Simply trust Him and watch how your faith becomes a blessing—not only in your own life but also in the lives of those around you.
Reflection Question:
What “little” are you hesitant to entrust to Jesus? What might God accomplish through it if you trust Him today?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for already knowing what You plan to do in every situation I face. Help me trust You fully with everything—even the things that feel insignificant or impossible. Multiply what I place in Your hands, not just for my benefit, but for the good and blessing of those around me. Amen.
