The lesson is for God's children in every age. When the Lord gives a work to be done, let not men stop to inquire into the reasonableness of the command or the probable result of their efforts to obey. The supply in their hands may seem to fall short of the need to be filled; but in the hands of the Lord it will prove more than sufficient. The servitor "set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord."

Guds børn i alle tidsaldre bør lære noget heraf. Når Herren tildeler nogen en opgave bør mennesker afholde sig fra at spørge, om kravet er rimeligt, eller hvad der vil ske, hvis de adlyder. Deres forråd kan synes alt for lille til at dække det forhåndenværende behov, men i Herrens hænder er det mere end tilstrækkeligt. Tjeneren satte "det frem for dem, og de spiste og levnede efter Herrens ord".
