Daily Bread

OK, I know this looks yummy. But, I am not talking about literal bread today. I am talking about our daily needs. In the Lord's Prayer, this is referred to as "daily bread."

I want to encourage you to start each day seeking Him for the things you need to survive. Don't worry about the curriculum that still hasn't been purchased or how you are going to be able to get them in the music class or even how you are going to pay the bills! Start your day looking at what God has provided, and as the Lord's Prayer directs us, take a moment to ask Him to provide your needs for today. After that, complete your daily tasks trusting that somehow He will provide. I know---it is hard to do. I have been on a personal journey of learning to trust Him more.

I have learned that as I trust Him and simply keep doing what I know is right, He is faithful to take my little and multiply it into all that I need, and even some of what I want! It is a beautiful miracle. I pray that all of us start our days looking to Him as our provider and that we discover the beautiful peace that comes with trusting Him.

"I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." - Jesus, John 6:35
