God is all sufficient, don’t limit Him to what you see in the physical. Let me give you example in the gospel. The feeding of the five thousand men described in Mark 6 where thousands of people were coming to hear Jesus. They had been with Him all day long. ³⁵ By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. ³⁶ Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” ³⁷ But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?” (Mark 6:35-37). 

His disciples came to Him and said it’s too late, send them away. But Jesus said you feed them. With what Jesus, they would’ve asked? You are asking us to feed thousands of people but with what? We have to work for months to earn enough money to be able to feed these people. “And they said to him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, and give them to eat? (Mark 6:37). When God gave them the command, immediately, they limited God to what their physical resources were. A penny was a day’s wage, so two hundred pennies were worth two hundred days wage to feed the multitude. They limited God because they only looked at their own resources. What they should have done was to recognise that they had God right there in their presence and He was all Sufficient. Don’t limit God by what you see in the physical.
