(And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, ...)

            1.         It acknowledges the heavenly Father as God alone.

            2.         It attributes sufficiency to God's hand.
                        It is not a trumped up, pumped up, power of man.

            3.         It acknowledges the heavenly Father as the source of life- the provider.

            4.         It admits human need.
                        We rule too much on the quality of the need.

            5.         It expresses the petition of a humble heart.
                        Realizing the foundation of grace, the fact God is not a respector of persons,
                        Gods goodness, mercy and forgiveness is present.

            6.         It expresses gratefulness for God's hearing.

            7.         It gains assurance of God's manifestation.
                        Is committed to God’s presiding and Gods outcome.
