. . .Give us
today, our daily bread. . . Of course we can take this part of the passage in more than one application, but I would like to be entirely literal. Have you ever prayed for your daily bread? And after all, if it is in that particular prayer, it is profound and basic to a relationship with the Lord. It is also foreign to most people. We pray when finances are tight and we pray for particular costly needs. But hardly anyone has even thought about what it means to pray in our daily bread. Of course, it would mean a level of dependency on the Lord that would be the result of and lead to understanding that we don't actually deserve or earn what we have. I work as unto the Lord and He brings the increase. A Soldier of the Cross must learn to do this even if he is currently a millionaire. Without it, there will be no actual seeing what money is or where it comes from. Almost everyone will let at least one or two people know about a financial crisis before they will even consider asking the Lord and then quietly waiting. The Soldier who learns to pray about his daily bread daily, will never depend on money - he will be one of the few who will learn to depend on God! |
