For Saturday, January 28, 2023:
Matthew 6:11 NIV, Jesus continues teaching The Lord’s Prayer: “Give us today (this day) our daily bread.”
Abraham called the Lord “Jehovah-Jireh,” “The Lord will provide” - everything! Abraham needed a replacement sacrifice to spare the life of his son Isaac. That’s a big ask, but God provided! We might only need a sandwich for lunch, and God can provide that too.
We should ask, “Give us today what we need for today.” This isn’t about filling a pantry or storeroom. God will give us today what we need for today, and he will give us tomorrow what we need for tomorrow. God will provide for our needs, not our greeds!
Our needs today include daily provision, forgiveness, and strength in the face of temptation. Many things are more important than food, and the Lord can provide everything we need!
God takes an interest in simple, everyday things!
