Give Us Today The Food We Need

Matthew 6:9-13-"Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. GIVE US TODAY THE FOOD WE NEED, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

Matthew 6:25-27-"That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life-whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"

Jehovah Jireh! God is our provider. Because of His great love for us, He provides everything we need to do His will. (which is the best thing you could ever do!) He provides food, water, clothes, air, homes, other people, courage, strength, His Word, love, and so many other things! God is awesome! Don't worry! God is here, and He will provide. Believe, and you will receive.

Philippians 4:6-7-"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

1 Peter 2:2-3-"Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness."

Food such as cheeseburgers or fruit is not the only food we need. According to God, we also need spiritual food. Just as you thank and ask God for physical nourishment, cry out to Him for spiritual nourishment, too. He will provide!!! He is faithful! Here is a little song I like to sing when I'm thankful for food-both physical and spiritual.

'Thank you Lord, for giving us food to eat and a song to sing! Thank you, Lord, for everything!'

Keep Measuring UP! You are loved. Ask God for forgiveness today, and pray that He would lead you and nourish you in every way so you may give Him glory. All glory to God!
