Give What You've Got
Manage episode 523568037 series 3671831
You don’t have to have much for God to use you, just a willingness to offer what’s already in your hands. In this episode, discover how God multiplies the “little” we give Him into something far greater than we could imagine.
Ever feel like what you have to offer is too small to matter?
Maybe it’s your time, your money, your energy, or even your faith. You look at the need around you and think, “I don’t have enough to make a difference.”
In this episode, Bart shares the surprising story of Millard and Linda Fuller, the couple who had only $7.50 left in their monthly budget but still felt God nudge them to help a family in desperate need. That tiny act of obedience became the spark that eventually grew into Habitat for Humanity, a ministry that has helped millions of people around the world find stable, affordable housing.
Through their story and the truth of 2 Kings 4:1–7, you’ll see that God doesn’t ask for what you don’t have; He asks you to trust Him with what you do have. And when you place even the smallest offering in His hands, He can multiply it in ways you never thought possible.
Main Scripture:
2 Kings 4:1–7 (NLT) — The story of the widow whose tiny flask of oil became the doorway to God’s miraculous provision.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why God often starts with what seems “not enough”
- How small acts of obedience open the door for God’s bigger work
- What it means to offer what’s in your hand, not what’s in your imagination
- Why faith isn’t about quantity—it’s about willingness
Today’s Challenge:
Identify one “small” thing you can offer to God this week: your time, your talent, your encouragement, your service, or your resources. Write it down. Pray over it. Ask God to multiply it however He chooses.
