In answer to their prayers
he said,
“I will give you enough grain,
wine, and olive oil
to satisfy your needs"
MATTHEW 14:19-20 (NLT)
Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The Lord doesn't just string his people along with a survival diet but he provides all they need.
DAILY FODDER
God functions through an economy of abundance. How does this change the way that you relate to him?
PRAYER
Lord, I'm grateful that you are a generous patron and that you include me as both a receipent and a partner in generosity. I confess that I struggle with the mindset of scarcity that flows from a world and economy out of sync with you. Help me to receive and freely give without worry. I want to be that person who lives generously. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
