So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord. (II Kings 4:44 ESV)
Enough
You probably remember the well known (twice performed) miracle Jesus did of feeding a crowd of people with a small amount of food.
But this story of Elisha performing a similar miracle is often unnoticed. But it should not be.
It was not a new thing for Jesus to feed a bunch of hungry folk. In fact, it is a rather common theme in the Bible. And when we see it, we can find encouragement that our needs will be met, or more than met, by our Lord.
When we ask for, ‘our daily bread,’ in the Lord’s Prayer, remember that when we see people’s needs being met in both the Old and the New Testament, those needs are met with abundance.
Do not get bogged down with cynicism. See what the Lord has done and have peace. Do not try to be more clever and predictive than the Lord. See what the Lord has done and have peace. Do not be ruled by abacus and spreadsheets. Remember that the Lord’s math is one of the ways He blesses His people, with generosity.
We can not provide enough. But Jesus can.
