“Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.” (John 6:11, NASB)

“For most of His miracles God makes use of material. Here Jesus accepts five loaves and two fish. He might have turned stones to bread, but He did not. He chose instead to work with what was offered Him … What He does, He does through us. All miracles begin here, with my all in His hands …

In a day of extreme national poverty the prophet Malachi brought to Israel God’s answer to her problem. It was: Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse – and see! It takes only a tiny stopper to close a very large bottle, so withholding from us its entire contents. And heaven is like that. Often for us there is no miracle, simply because we give God nothing to work with. He asks only a very little – what we have!”
