John 6:11-13 teaches us that Jesus receives what seems small, gives thanks for it, and wastes nothing placed in His hands. We can faithfully offer Him what we have without demanding a visible result, trusting that even the prayers, invitations, and efforts that seem insignificant are not wasted.

2 Timothy 3:17 says the Bible gets you *equipped* for every good work—like packing a backpack for a big hike before you go, so you'll have what you need far up the trail. You read a verse about bravery on a calm morning, and weeks later when you're scared to stand up for a friend, it pops back into your mind at the perfect time—it was in your backpack the whole while. So Bible reading isn't homework, it's packing for an adventure, and God is right there helping you get ready and walking the trail beside you.
