We take our container of food and our jug of water, and whatever they represent, and we say this is all we have and no more, this is all we do and no more, this is as far as we go and no further. This Elijah figure he knows something we don’t. He knows about miracles. He knows about provision. He knows about abundance. He knows about overflowing goodness, grace, mercy. He knows about food that never runs out and water that never runs dry.  He knows this. He’s seen it. He persists.
