Jour 4 sur 5

Availability Is All That Matters

We tend to believe God only works with those who are above average—who are gifted, talented, and have a track record of success. But God loves working with His below-average people. Because through our limited resources, Jesus can demonstrate how powerful He really is. I love the way Charles Spurgeon summarizes this story:

“All that matters in this miracle is that the lad’s loaves were in the Lord’s hands.”

The quantity of the loaves was irrelevant. The quality was irrelevant. The miracle happens regardless of what we are bringing to the table. It doesn’t matter how many talents, gifts, and abilities you bring. Jesus says all that matters is that whatever you have in your hands, you make available to the Lord’s hands. Availability is all that matters.

After the miracle, no one was talking about how great the disciples were. The passage says Jesus chose to use the disciples to distribute the food—He worked through them. It’s a beautiful picture of how the church works. He uses us, but even though He uses us to perform miracles, it’s still all about Him.

In this 5-day plan, Pete Briscoe explores the answer to this question and shares how when we’re willing to step into what God’s inviting us to, an incredible experience awaits.
