While our abilities and offerings to God may be broken and inadequate, God delights in using them to extremes by displaying his extravagant strength and faithfulness to the world. This is beautifully displayed throughout the ages, including: His display of authority in choosing Aaron as head priest of the Israelites, feeding over 5000 people with a small offering of 5 loaves and 2 fish, and answering the prayers of a missionary imprisoned in a Japanese POW camp by not gifting her just 1 banana but 92. As we start digging deeper into understanding how God's faithfulness is true in all life circumstances, not just the happy ones, we need to have these foundations: That God is the same past present and future, and that he takes our broken ashes and multiplies them exponentially into beautiful representations of his vast and abundant faithfulness.
