Today we looked at the Prayer of Dependence… “Give us today our daily bread.” Every good and perfect gift, seen and unseen, is evidence of God’s love and mercy. Therefore we ask for the gift of God’s provision day-by-day as an act of faith and trust that He is our ultimate Source. When tempted to put our faith in other things or other people, the prayer Jesus taught his followers reminds us of the One who supplies our every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
