Day By Day Our Daily Bread

How far has your anxiety solved any problem for you? Many people keep themselves busy worrying about tomorrow when God wants us to live by the day. The day has enough troubles of its own. This post encourages you to believe God for the day and allow tomorrow to worry about its own things.

Give us day by day our daily bread - Luke 11:3 (NKJV).

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble - Matthew 6:31-34 (NKJV).

Many people are so worried about tomorrow that they don't even enjoy today. When today goes, it is gone forever. God wants you to live your life one day at a time. When Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, they were to ask God to give them day by day their daily bread. In Exodus 16, God demonstrated His ability to provide for His people daily. When the people worried about tomorrow by their action, God was not happy with them. The Lord knows that you have need of what to eat, drink and wear. However, He wants you to focus on your service unto Him and for you to believe Him to provide your daily needs. He has never failed, He won't start with you.

Feed and load yourself with God's word and understand Him as the Jehovah Jireh, believe Him to manifest His name in your life and supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19). Thank the Lord daily for the benefits which He daily loads you with (Psalm 68:19) and you will see more of the benefits. Read more...

You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept, and gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel. The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, and show the descent of His arm, with the indignation of His anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, tempest, and hailstones – Isaiah 30:29-30 (NKJV).
