Luke 9:13 --
"You give them something to eat." "We ain't got nuthin'."
But earlier in the chapter, Jesus had sent out the twelve apostles, without money or food or backpack or anything. The only thing they possessed was His word to preach. And it was sufficient! Amazingly, it "worked" to have nothing but God's word.
Not long afterward, they're in the wilderness, faced with people in need, and they told Jesus, "We have nothing to give."
Guys! Guys! Of course you have something to give! You have the Bread of Life. You have the message of the kingdom of God. You have forgiveness for sinners. You have life. You have God's word.
We just don't get it. We believe God's word is sufficient. Except we don't.
