Our Daily Bread

Matthew 6:9-11 NIV ““This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.”

 

There is no weariness like the soul-weariness the psalmist speaks of here. Quick surges of faith may occur in an inspirational moment, but how do you sustain faith during prolonged sickness, continued temptation, or seemingly unending relational struggles?

Feed on the living bread. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4). When you come to the end of yet another day that has drained your physical, emotional, and spiritual strength, sit down and read the Word of God. If you can’t stay awake, stand up and read it aloud.

You may not remember everything you read or even find insight, but your soul is getting its daily bread by being fed by the Holy Spirit.

Blessings
