And Then Some...

A man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. "Give it to the people to eat," Elisha said. "How can I set this before a hundred men?" his servant asked. But Elisha answered, "Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the LORD says: 'They will eat and have some left over.' "Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD. 2 Kings 4:42-44

       The process of faith requires a blind commitment on your part to just do and not ask questions. In this passage, the servant of Elisha had some doubts about the process being that there were twenty loaves to feed one hundred men. He saw the physical aspect of the situation and reasoned to himself, "there is no way." He obviously had his focus on the wrong thing.

        Conversely, the prophet had a sense for the supernatural. He knew that God was in the midst of his situation and told the servant to just do what God said and see that there will be even some left over. Elisha had his sights set on that which was above and didn't let his physical circumstance deviate His focus.

         There is nothing that can get in the way of a spiritually motivated person who has sold out to listening to what God says. That person understands that nothing in the physical realm can shake the word of God. In short, seeing what God wants to show us requires a reckless abandon. God is looking to provide for you in ways you can't even imagine. You just have to see it with a different set of eyes in order to step into the physical aspect of your blessing. Most importantly, you must stay focused on what God has said...
