The Future of Impossible Situations

 

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 have some left."
So he set it before them.
And they ate
   and had some left,
according to the word of the LORD.

              2 Kings 4. 43

When we are faithful
    in following the LORD,
even into what
   we cannot yet understand,
God's fundamental law of 
       leftovers kicks in.
Lay before Him our day,
our work,
our efforts,
     and He multiplies.
What seems to us a lack,
   God redeems for His glory
in ways we may never
               comprehend.
The point here is
      not what God can do,
but are we willing
     to submit to Him?

O LORD,
We bring before You
what seems to be
    an impossible situation.
We lay it on the altar
   that You may touch it
and turn the natural
            into the supernatural
and the ordinary
      into the extraordinary.
Help us to be sensitive
     to the needs of others.
And to be aware of 
     Your hand upon us. 
You do not just show up.
      You sustain us.
