I love bread. I try to limit how much comes into the house because it is hard to find self control with bread. There are so many varieties of bread today. We have a local shop that carries probably a dozen different breads daily. It is truly delicious.
Bread has been around for thousands of years. It can be made from different grains, but nearly every culture has a bread they call their own.
Remember, when Jesus was asked by his disciples to show them how to pray? He prayed the sample prayer we know as "The Lord's Prayer". The prayer makes a request for our daily bread. I could spend a long time on that short little passage. There is much to unpack.
"Give us this day our daily bread." -Matthew 6:11
It shows that we are to bring our requests before God, even simple ones like our daily food. It asks for today's needs with some immediacy. It does not hold any worry about tomorrow. This day... one day at a time... is a lesson we seem slow to learn.
He wants us to trust him for today and today's needs. Giving thanks for His provision is pleasing to His ear, so we need to give thanks daily.
Today, I am grateful for our daily bread.
