Precisely what

The twelve disciples said,

When they,

Who were the servants,

Asked their Master

To be spiritually fed?

Jesus gently pointed out

Whose needs,

They should have focused

On instead.

And had we asked

The same today,

This is what

He might have said.

"And which of you,

Having traveled

To your favorite place to eat,

Will say to the waiter,

Who waits on your table,

'Come at once,

And sit down to eat!'

But will you not rather say,

'I want some of this,

And I want some of that,

And what is your special today?'

For everyone

Who orders knows,

That faithful waiters

Always serve the needs

Of those,

Who place an order,

First,

Before they stop to eat."Based on  Luke 17:7-8

Spiritually speaking,

We too,

Must do the same.

The same as the widow,

Gaunt and sad,

Who gave a stranger

All she had.

Not waiting,

Until she knew

She had enough to eat.

And not debating,

Until she knew if God

Would satisfy her needs.

This,

Fundamental shift

In our priorities,

Where we seek to feed

The needs of others,
