9/4/12- Daily Bread

Give us this day our daily bread... (Matthew 6:11)

All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.  28 When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied with good things. (Psalm 104:27,28)



Thoughts: Contrary to some, the government is not the one who gives us our provision.  Our bootstraps and intelligence do not give us our provision.  All that we see is not made by us.  God made it all.  But more than that, God did not just create it all, He actively gives us daily bread.  God is not someone who acted in the past in creation- so that the prayer reads "you gave us our bread."  Rather, each day God in a new provides for us.  Daily bread is fresh bread, and God provides for us freshly each and every day.

Prayer: Lord, I look to you to provide for me this day and every day.  Help me, and give me the health and ability to work and honor you.
