In the Midst

Abstract

a) He speaks to God as if God lays the burden of meeting Israel’s needs on him. God had already shown him time after time, in deep crises, that His miracle-working sufficiency could provide no matter what the need. He loses track of that, as many another leader of God has done. “Where am I to get meat ... ?” he asks. Of course, he could have said, “You have shown your servant that You can provide. So, I look to You. You know just what to do and how to do it.”2
