The Narrow Way

Sometimes after a battle,
you don’t come out with everything you had before.
Some things are gone.
Some dreams look different.
Some of the people you thought would be with you
are nowhere to be found.

And you look at your hands and think,
“This isn’t much.”

But the God who multiplied loaves and fish,
who filled jars from a little oil,
who raised dry bones into armies
has never needed much to do much.

In Judges 7, Gideon started with 32,000 men.
God reduced it to 300.
Why?
So the victory would be clearly His.

In John 6, a boy’s lunch fed thousands.
Why?
So the miracle would point back to Him.

In 2 Kings 4, a widow had only a jar of oil
but it didn’t run out until every vessel was full.

What’s in your hands is enough when God is in it.

Haggai 2:9 says,
“The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former.”

That means what’s coming will outshine what was
even if it’s built from the scraps the storm left behind.

So don’t despise the fragments.
Don’t curse the small beginnings.
Don’t waste your breath wishing for what left.

Lift it to heaven and say,
“God, this is all I’ve got. But it’s Yours.”

Because in His hands,
the little becomes limitless.
The broken becomes beautiful.
And what’s left becomes the foundation
for a testimony that shakes hell.
