In Dale Ralph Davis's commentary on 1Samuel he tells an event that happened during world war 2, when German cities were being bombed.The air craft was hit by antiaircraft flak lodging in the gas tank,but they didn't explode,when they landed ,the pilot asked for the unexploded shells.There were eleven shells,they were taken to the armorers to be defused,the armorers found that the shells contained no explosive charge,all but one contained a rolled-up -note,written in Czech. When it was translated it contained this message,''This is all we can do for you now''.These Czechs were compelled to work in an munitions plant for the Nazi war effort. The world is a very needy place,in so many place evil appears to reign, so many lost souls,so many people hurting,and suffering,and we think we can only pray,we can only give so little. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ remember He commended the woman who gave two small copper coins,( Mark 12 v 42). and with 5 small barley loaves,and two fish, he fed 5,000 plus people.
' Fear not to enter His courts in thy slenderness,
Of the poor wealth thou would'st reckon as thine;
These ,though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept for the name that is dear;'
Words John S.B. Monsell.
