Daily Bread
By Idelette McVicker
“Give us today our daily bread.” –Matthew 6:11 (NIV)
As a mother of young children, I am reminded of Jesus’ words that he had food to eat that his disciples knew nothing about. (John 4:32) I’ve become more aware of my need, not only for nutritious food that gives me fuel for the long days, but even more importantly for my daily manna from heaven. My spirit longs for this food. Most days I can grab only one verse to carry in my heart all day long. It is usually exactly what I need for that day.
Before I became a mom, I had lots of time and space in my life to spend time with God. I feasted in His presence almost daily. These days I depend on the basics: my daily bread. I need my God to feed my spirit. Without Him and His Word, my spirit starves and I don’t have the spiritual stamina to live this life to the fullest. Now even one slice of whole-grain bread from Heaven carries me through the day and gives me wings.
Thank You, Lord, for Your daily bread that sustains and feeds me. I love Your Word. Amen.
Questions: Busy seasons come to all of us. In those busy seasons of life how do you maintain your walk with God?
