The Power of a Small Yes

When God calls us, it’s easy to feel like we don’t have enough to offer. But God often works through the smallest acts of obedience to accomplish His greatest purposes. Take the story of the boy with five loaves and two fish in John 6:1-14. With a crowd of over five thousand people, the disciples saw an impossible situation. Yet the boy offered what little he had, and Jesus used it to perform a miracle, feeding everyone with abundance to spare.

This story reminds us that God isn’t looking for perfection or vast resources—He’s looking for a willing heart. Our small “yes” becomes powerful in His hands. Whether it’s an act of kindness, a prayer, or a step of faith, God can use it to bless others and glorify His name.

Don’t underestimate what God can do through your obedience. Trust Him with what you have, and watch Him multiply it beyond your imagination.

Question to Ponder:

What small act of obedience can you offer to God today, trusting Him to use it for His glory?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for reminding me that You can do great things with small offerings. Help me to trust You with what I have and to say “yes” to Your call, no matter how small it seems. Use my life as a vessel for Your purposes, and let Your glory shine through me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
