The feeding of the 5,000 reveals a powerful lesson about stepping up when God calls. A nameless boy with five barley loaves and two fish demonstrates that God uses ordinary offerings to create extraordinary miracles. While Philip calculated costs and Andrew questioned adequacy, this young boy simply offered what he had. The miracle shows divine multiplication - 5 plus 2 equaled food for thousands with 12 baskets remaining. Throughout Scripture, ordinary people like Gideon, David, Moses, and Esther stepped up despite their limitations. God doesn't need our perfection; He needs our availability. When we stop focusing on what we lack and offer what we have, little becomes much in the Master's hands.
