One of His disciples,

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,

said to Him,

"There is a boy here

who has five barley loaves

           and two fish,

but what are they

           for so many?"

             John 6. 8-9

(Blessings on the mom

   who made his sack lunch,

an ordinary act of faithfulness

           on an ordinary day.

She had no idea

     how God would use it

             for His glory.

Faithfulness

       is never insignificant.

What do we have,

what has God placed

              before us?

What can God do

        with this dilemma,

   this very present need?

Jesus says,

        "Now watch this!"

What if

       I trusted Him in this?)

O LORD,

May we not forget

that there are no

         ordinary days,

only extraordinary ones.

Help us to seek You

   and be faithful to You,

knowing that

        You are in this.

You are redeeming

         in present tense,

even in what

   we cannot yet see.
