But his servant said,
"How can I set this
      before a hundred men?"
So he repeated,
"Give them to the men,
    that they may eat,
for thus says the LORD,
"They shall eat and
       and have some left."

                  2 Kings 4. 43

(God's fundamental
           law of leftovers--
God makes it
        more than enough.
God specializes in
  impossible situations
  and bleak landscapes
  and empty hearts
that we may know
           that He is God.)

O LORD,
Help us to trust You in this.
Give us the courage and wisdom
    to yield what we can
    and do what we are able,
       following You into it.
And know
          that You redeem,
even in ways we will never see.
You are the Almighty.
You surround us with
        Your Presence.
