Our Daily Bread

Give us today our daily bread.

Matthew 6:11

God provides our daily bread, though not just in the manner of food for our physical needs. He also provides the daily food for our soul. He cares about our earthly needs as well as the needs of our spirit.

We often try to be self-sufficient in our jobs, parenting, finances, and relationships. But if we are wise, we will continually surrender to God to lead us and provide what we need at the right time. We will also allow him to lead us from all that is not good and right. Our earthly issues matter to God whether they are large or small. He is Lord of all!

God also provides daily food for our spiritual hunger. He has wisdom for our spirit. He has strength for our soul and can give us the most intimate love and care. He satisfies the longings that even the best of friends or the greatest of spouses can never meet. He alone must be our daily bread!

Do you feast daily on His Word? Are you dependent upon God in all areas of your life? Pray for a relationship of total surrender and dependence! Will you allow the Lord to be your daily bread?

Dear Lord,

Be for me my daily bread. I thank you for the way you meet my earthly needs of food and shelter. Thank you for bringing others into my life that support and encourage me in my daily walk both in matters of the world and matters of the spirit. Humble my heart to seek you as my daily bread. Amen
