He who fed the multitude with five loaves and two small fishes
is able today to give us the fruit of our labor. He who said to the
fishers of Galilee, “Let down your nets for a draft,” and who, as they
obeyed, filled their nets till they broke, desires His people to see in
this an evidence of what He will do for them today. The God who
in the wilderness gave the children of Israel manna from heaven
still lives and reigns. He will guide His people and give skill and
understanding in the work they are called to do. He will give wisdom
to those who strive to do their duty conscientiously and intelligently.
He who owns the world is rich in resources, and will bless everyone
who is seeking to bless others.
We need to look heavenward in faith. We are not to be discour-
aged because of apparent failure, nor should we be disheartened by
delay. We should work cheerfully, hopefully, gratefully, believing
that the earth holds in her bosom rich treasures for the faithful worker
to garner, stores richer than gold or silver. The mountains and hills
are changing; the earth is waxing old like a garment; but the blessing
of God, which spreads for His people a table in the wilderness, will
never cease.
