 El Shaddai, The Lord Almighty Multiplies

 
 Now may El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful and multiply you so that you will become an assembly of peoples. ―Genesis 28:3

It would take more than half a year’s wage to feed everyone who had gathered to hear Yeshua (Jesus) teach. Andrew knew that Jesus could do much with little.

"Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish – but what’s that for so many?” …So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Yeshua picked up the loaves. And having given thanks, He distributed bread to everyone who was reclining. He did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted." ―John 6:10‒11

You don’t have to be a superstar Believer with a big audience to be used by the Lord. God takes what we offer to Him in faith and uses it to bless others and grow His kingdom – even the little things that seemingly don’t amount to much. God is a multiplier.

 What you do makes a difference. Your prayer, acts of kindness and words of encouragement matter. God receives your gifts of treasure and service and uses them to minister to others and point people to Himself.

If you’re tempted to think that you don’t have much to offer, remember the boy with the five loaves and two fish. Remember that God will multiply your gift to serve His purposes. All you have to do is offer what you have, and let Him use you more deeply and powerfully than you can imagine.  

"Now the One who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness." ―2 Corinthians 9:10
