From "But" to "But God"
"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?" (John 6:9 NKJV).
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. How much we have—or don't have—cannot limit Him. It's natural to add a but. an objection to provision that doesn't seem practical. Yet when the but comes, we take it captive by surrendering what we do have to God, moving from but to but God!
Our but... disappears when we hand it over to Him and declare, but God! A little becomes much when God is in it. Nothing remains small in His hands. He fed thousands with five loaves and two fish. He multiplied a little oil to fill all available vessels. He used a small stone in a sling to defeat a giant. He used a little maiden girl to lead a Syrian general to Elijah.
As we walk in the supernatural, we shift from but this or that to but God! He is the God of more than enough. When we trust that God is holding us, we can hold on. We might not have enough, but God is more than enough! Let's learn to trust and rest in Him, from glory to glory!
