You probably know the moment: You're hungry and open the fridge—
But there’s hardly anything inside.
Some vegetables. Two eggs. Half an onion way in the back.
Because you don’t want to order food again, you ask ChatGPT for ideas.
Or you just throw everything into a pan.
And in the end?
It turns out great.
Not because you had everything, but because you made something out of what you had.

That’s exactly how God speaks to Moses:
“What is that in your hand?”
Not: “What are you missing?”
Not: “What do you still need?”
But: “What do you already have—right here, right now?”

Moses looks down: A shepherd’s staff.
A piece of wood.
Nothing special.
But God says:
“Give it to Me.”

God doesn’t use what glitters—He uses what’s available.
This is a principle that runs through the entire Bible:
God doesn’t call the gifted; He gifts the called.
He doesn’t wait until everything is perfect.
He starts with what you give—and makes more out of it.

Jesus shows the same at the feeding of the five thousand.
A boy brings five loaves and two fish.
Too little?
Yes.
But he brings them anyway.
And Jesus turns them into enough—for everyone.
Multiplication begins with trust.

Maybe you often think:
“I don’t have much.”
But you are no accident.
What you can do, what makes you who you are, how you think—none of that was given to you by chance.
You are God’s idea.
And what He placed in you is part of your calling.
Not someday.
But now.

You have something to give; not because you’re finished, but because God has already invested in you.
Your job isn’t to be perfectly prepared.
Your job is to be willing.

Today is not the moment to focus on what’s missing, but to look at what God has already given you. It might seem small and unimpressive.
But God can do more with it than you can imagine—if you give it to Him.

“God, what have You given me—and where can I simply begin today to trust You with the rest?”
