Daily Dependence and Provision

 


Sub-Topic:  Trusting God for Our Needs

Biblical Text: Matthew 6:11 

Commentary:

This verse reminds us of our dependence on God for our daily needs.  We pray for "daily bread," trusting Him to provide for our physical and spiritual sustenance.

The next verse, "Give us this day our daily bread," speaks to our dependence on God. It highlights several important aspects:

  • Constant Need: This verse reminds us that we rely on God for our everyday needs, not just in times of crisis. He provides for our physical and spiritual well-being.

  • Trust and Humility: Asking for "daily bread" expresses trust in God's provision and avoids a spirit of entitlement.

  • Gratitude: Implicit in this prayer is an attitude of gratitude for all that God has given us.

Prayer for daily bread becomes an act of acknowledgment and trust, reminding us that God is our ultimate source of sustenance.

Prayer:  Father, thank you for your provision.  Help me trust in you for my daily needs. 

Work Action:  Consider all the ways God has provided for you – big and small.  Express gratitude for His faithfulness in your life.

Scriptural Reference:  Philippians 4:19 "And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
