Provision

After 1 Samuel 21:1-22:5 

It is aid the Lord provides,

but what of the times

when there is no bread

but the holy bread, set

aside solely for the Lord?

Hunger gnaws, provision

is needed, but to take

the holy bread, meant

only for the Lord?

The priest was willing;

he offered the bread

and was accepted,

the gift set aside

solely for the Lord, 

now provision

from the Lord.
