Daily Bread:

The Lord Jesus Christ encouraged us to pray for our "daily bread." That is a term that was used to refer to what a soldier would carry in his pack as food for a day. It implies that we should be in constant dependence on God. David observed, "I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging bread." (Psalm 37:25) The provision of God for His people is a theme that runs through scripture. The supply of stuff, important as it is, is minor when compared to God giving us that which is beyond the material. "Contentment," Paul says, "with Godliness" is "great gain." One of the lies-perhaps The Devil's greatest falsehood--that has circulated since Eden is that God is holding out on us. No God is a God who gives.We'll see that truth demonstrated as Lord provides for His people during their forty years in the wilderness, this Sunday morning at 8:30 or 10:55. I hope you'll join us at the CBC.It's STTA
