Punctual Love
2 Kings 4:42-44
And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley…


We wonder at the smooth working of the machinery for feeding a great city; and how, day by day, the provisions come at the right time, and are parted out among hundreds of thousands of homes. But we seldom think of the punctual love, the perfect knowledge, the profound wisdom which cares for us all, and is always in time with its gifts.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
