We have opportunity today to consider God's provision for his people. Observe that even in the offerings in Leviticus, the priests and the people making the offerings are not left out. There are opportunities to eat from the offerings people give. In fact, eating in the presence of God is quite an important theme in Leviticus. Likewise in Luke's Gospel we see that the very disciples Jesus commands to provide for the hungry people receive their provision from the hand of Jesus and themselves partake of the food Jesus has provided as well.
Do we look to our Lord and Savior for all our provision? When we pray the Lord will give us our daily bread do we actually expect that he will? And are we thankful for all that he has given us? Whatever we have comes from the hand of our Lord. May we be faithful to give thanks and to rejoice as we enjoy the blessings he has prepared for us.
