...go to the sea

and cast a hook

and take the first fish

          that comes up,

and when you open its mouth

you will find a shekel.

                  Matthew 17. 27

(Obey even in what

makes absolutely no sense at all.

God does not provide

               in obvious ways

but obedient ways

         through the unexpected,

that we would know

        He provides,

and that it didn't "just happen."

Things do not just work out.

           God brings it.)
