I will say it again: Rejoice Philippians 4:4 Keith was feeling down as he trudged through the produce aisle. Blessed be the name of the Lord forever and ever. JanuChoose Joy Read: Philippians 1:1221 Rejoice in the Lord always. May we abide in your Word and seek you with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Let’s pray!ĭear Heavenly Father, you taught us to pray with this in mind: “Give us today our daily bread.” Therefore, O God, provide for us your Word which is our daily bread let it be like honey to our lips and a soothing aroma to our souls. He declares: “Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food (Job 23:12).” Therefore, God’s eternal commandments are even more important than actual food.
Job, a prophet of God, also declares this truth about God and His truth being our daily bread, strength and sustenance. Jesus even calls himself the “Bread of Life.” Furthermore, when Satan tempts Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus rebuked the devil by shouting: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (Matt: 4:4).” We also know that the Israelites were fed daily manna while they were in the desert wilderness for over 40 years. For instance, when the disciples asked him how they should pray, he includes this saying. Moreover, Jesus talks about daily bread throughout Scripture. Otherwise, we will not produce any fruit and branches that do not bear fruit will wither away. Jesus told us in John 15 that we must abide in Him. Just like we can’t live without food as physical creatures, when we neglect our daily bread of encountering God, our spiritual life becomes unlivable. He is our strength, life, and sustenance that keeps us living and breathing.
