“The Lord’s Provision For Us”
by Dona Hake
Matthew 6:11 (CEB)
“Give us the bread we need for today.”
We all understand that we need to eat and drink to keep ourselves healthy. Proper nutrition is vital in order to feel good and have the energy we need to get us through each day. It is equally important that we are staying aware of our spirit being fed and nourished by the Word of our Lord. May we be diligent over the nutrition and strength of our spirit man. We all are dealing with different things and different demands, therefore we need to be diligent to read His Word and meditate upon it daily in order that our spirit, soul and mind are thriving on the Bread of Life.
God’s Word is our sustenance, and as we ask for Him to give us our daily bread we will certainly receive from Him. His bread is our means of sustaining life and nourishment. I encourage you today to seek Him for that which you need. Is it a specific answer or need for direction? Is there emptiness in your heart and pain? Anything you need God is well able to give to you and He will give you nothing less than what you need to be sustained this day.
Matthew 7:7-10(ERV)
“Continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you. Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them.
“Do any of you have a son? If he asked for bread, would you give him a rock? Or if he asked for a fish, would you give him a snake? Of course not!”
