The Bible includes many accounts of people being sustained by God when their material resources ran dry. The hungry and thirsty Israelites were provided with manna, quail, and water during the Exodus; the exiled Hagar found a well in the wilderness; Elijah and the widow of Zarephath were fed during a drought; another widow’s supply of oil was multiplied to pay her debt. 

The Bible doesn’t relate these stories in order to entertain us with miracles of long ago, but to reassure us that we can count on God being there for us as well. When we open our hearts to trust God’s loving care, we too will see our needs met. 

God, Spirit, omnipotent and omnipresent good, fills all space, so we can never be left wanting.
