"And do you not remember?
When I broke the fives loaves
for the five thousand,
how many baskets
full of broken pieces
did you take up?"
They said to Him,
"Twelve."
Mark 8. 18-19
Do we recall all those times
when God did not just show up,
but He beat us here,
the table already set?
Over and over again.
Even among His disciples,
Jesus had to point out
they took up
twelve baskets of leftovers,
ironically one for each of them.
God's faithfulness is so immense
we can't even count that high.
God gives each of us
a chronicle of His faithfulness
in indelible ink.
He is not about
to abandon us now.
Do not fear. I am with you.
Even in the hard stuff.
O LORD,
You have taken care of us
in the past.
You are caring for us now.
You carry us into what is next.
Help us to know
You've also got us
in this particular situation,
not with just barely enough,
but twelve baskets full.
