Multiplication

I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them. ~ Jeremiah 30:19 (NLT)

Jesus also used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” ~ Matthew 13:33 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
God's people may not look like much but he multiplies them and their work like crazy.
PRAYER:
God, you definitely seem to be in the business of making a lot out of a little. Fishermen lead your kingdom movement forward. And your kingdom lacks the powerful backing of the most important people in society. Sometimes I feel like we're going nowhere and accomplishing nothing of significance. Forgive my doubt and wallowing. Help me to grasp the bigger picture of who you are, what you're doing, and how you operate. I'm not much to look at but I am trusting that you'll use me in a significant way -- as defined by YOU. Amen.
