Make Me a Little Cake First

“Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.”
1 Kings 17:13

Reflection

The ask sounds outrageous, and it is worth being plain about what it is not: not a transaction, not a technique for producing money, and not a reason to give away what your family needs. It is one small act of trust at the exact point where fear says to close the hand.

Pray

Lord, scarcity has made me grip everything. Show me one honest, proportionate way to open my hand today — not recklessly, but really.

Amen.

Declare

Fear says close the hand; I can open it a little.

Today’s practice

Do one small generous thing that is genuinely within your means — a meal, an hour, a skill someone needs. Small and real, not large and reckless.
