2 Kings 4:42-44

Now a man from Baal Shalisha brought some food for the prophet—twenty loaves of bread made from the firstfruits of the barley harvest, as well as fresh ears of grain. Elisha said, “Set it before the people so they may eat.”  But his attendant said, “How can I feed a hundred men with this?” He replied, “Set it before the people so they may eat, for this is what the Lord says, ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”  So he set it before them; they ate and had some left over, just as the Lord predicted.

Whether it be twenty loaves of bread to feed 100 men, or five loaves of bread and two fish to feed 5000 people, the Lord provides with abundance! This is also fitting because it is God who multiplies the first-fruits of our tithes and offerings! Whatever we give, God blesses others many-fold from that gift, and at the same time blesses us as well! Lord God, help us live and give trusting fully in You for provision; both for others and for ourselves. Believe the Lord for "more than enough". He provides miraculous living water in Christ Jesus that readies our lives to receive blessing!
