“Our Daily Bread – Exactly What We Need”

seeking God

The Word of God tells us that if we seek we will find.   Our loving God loves when we seek Him.   Even though He knows EXACTLY what we need, He desires that our hearts exhibit our need of asking Him.   Jesus taught His disciples to pray, and one of the things to ask for was daily bread.   Let us look at two translations that I felt were excellent.
 
 
Matthew 6:11 (DRA)

 

“Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.”

 
Matthew 6:11 (VOICE)

 

” Give us each day that day’s bread—no more, no less—”

 
 
The Lord knows our needs before we are even aware of them.   He also knows the areas in our hearts that are weak and needy.  It can be so tempting to concern ourselves with things that we do not yet have to deal with.   When we believe that He is faithful to give us exactly what we need, our hearts and minds will be at peace.   Today I encourage you to meditate upon the fact that God is faithful to give us the “bread” we need to get us through one day at a time.   That bread will sustain us, and keep us nourished in our spirits.   Thank you Lord for daily bread that is alive and living and all so powerful!
