April 10, 2024 – No One is Too Small for God to Use
John 6:8-11
Sermon: 1927 Jesus Is God’s Answer to Man’s Desires, Part 2
Pray Over This
“One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, ‘There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?’ Then Jesus said, ‘Make the people sit down.’ Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.”
John 6:8-11
Ponder This
There is no person too small for Jesus to use. When Jesus solves problems, He uses people. He used a little boy and a little lunch. He had two small fish and five loaves of barley bread. Barley was the cheapest, coarsest, and poorest quality of bread. But Jesus took this meager lunch, blessed it, and fed the multitude. What was the recipe for this miracle?
First, it was given freely to Jesus. He didn’t say, “Now, Lord Jesus, you can have one of these fish and I’ll keep the other. He gave it all to Jesus Christ. Do you want to be used of God? You may say yes. But have you given Him everything? Do you think this little lad went away hungry? He had more to eat than if he had not given Jesus anything. When he gave it all to Jesus, Jesus gave back to him. You may be too big for God to use, but you’ll never be too small for God to use. God uses small people and small things. There’s no problem too big for Jesus to solve. There’s no person too small for Jesus to use.
- What are some things that make you feel too small for God to use?
- What would it look like for you to give everything to God? What would be difficult to surrender?
Practice This
