For this time,

With a simple illustration,

That we all agree is true,

He takes the way

We think of faith,

And how we think

We're supposed to

Strengthen faith,

And made it

Something new.

New?

Or was it just Elijah's

Timeless message,

Dusted off,

And re-introduced?

"But which of you,

Having a servant plowing

Or feeding cattle,

Will say unto him

By and by,

When he is come

From the field,

'Go

And sit down to meat?'

And will not rather

Say unto him,

'Make ready

Wherewith I may sup,

And gird thyself,

And serve me,

Till I have eaten and drunken;

And afterward

Thou shalt eat and drink?' "Luke 17:7-8

"Feed me first!"

The master,

To his servant said.

The master,

To his faithful servant,

Like Elijah

To the hungry widow said.1 Kings 17:10-13

And what did

His servant say?

Did he tell his master

That he couldn't,

Because he had to eat first?

Or that he wouldn't,

Because he needed

To renew his strength first?

No,

He didn't.

And yet isn't this,
