OUR DAILY BREAD

Luke 11:3 - "Give us each day our daily bread..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why ask for a daily bread, and not a monthly supply or maybe a whole year supply?  God will surely provide, right?

Of course, He will.  He would even provide for our entire life.  He will not have any problem doing that.

But by asking for our daily bread, this means He wants us to remember Him everyday for the rest of our lives.

Isn't it a fact that when we receive something bigger than the ordinary, we would thank God now, and then forget Him... that is, until the next blessings.  When we are sick, we would pray to Him almost every seconds, but as soon as we got well, then we forget to pray... that is, until the next sickness.

The Lord provides, there should be no question about that.  In fact, we are alive today because He provides us the nutrients, the air, the water the we need to live.  But we simply do not recognize it.  We still get angry to Him if our prayers are left unanswered.  We would doubt Him, once we did not get what we ask for.

Pray to Him everyday in praise and thanksgiving.  Upon waking up and before going to bed.  And ask for your next bread for tomorrow, fully trusting in Him that He will provide everything that we need.

God will sustain us wholly - physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.  He is the bread that would satisfy our spiritual hunger, and only Him can provide us this bread.  And by faith, we know that He can provide so we may live in Him, one day at a time, humbly acknowledging that He is the sole giver of all the things we need.

+ Let us pray:  Our Father, who art in Heaven.  Hollowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.  Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sins against us.  And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.  Amen +
