Does this remind you of another story in the Bible?
Encourage kids to think of the New Testament account of Jesus feeding the 5000 in Matthew 14. This story is similar in many ways to Jesus’ miracle, giving even greater proof of Jesus fulfilling the Old Testament.
What does this passage teach us about God?
Help kids see God’s miraculous provision for the 100 men using the 20 loaves of bread given to Elisha.
What does this passage teach us about people?
Help kids see that God provided bread from a foreigner, a man from Baal-shalishah. Elisha has faith that God’s provision will be enough for everyone who needed to eat. Elisha’s attended doubted Elisha’s instructions and God’s provision.

Encourage kids to see how reading about God’s provision helps strengthen our faith. We too can have faith and trust God.
