Well this has been my week for homemade bread. Yes, lucky me. I've had 3 friends bring 3 different kinds of bread they made to me. Louise made sourdough bread, Charity made dinner bread, and Maru made banana bread. I'm not usually a big bread eater but homemade bread is a whole different story. I am eating it daily...yummo.
As much as the homemade bread makes me feel full, it will never nourish me enough. Our daily bread is the Bible/The Word and will satisfy our souls. What does it feel like to be hungry for The Word? You may feel lost without direction, depressed with the world's situation, or needing words of praise.
I use the devotional, Our Daily Bread, every day. It's a short and concise story backed up by a Bible verse. It is enough to give you a thought to ponder for the day. It also directs your mind towards God, instead of the world.
Feed your mind and soul as much as your stomach and then you'll have a perfect diet.
Lord, I meditate on Your precepts and contemplate
Your ways. I delight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your Word. Open my eyes that
I may see wondrous things from Your law. [odb.org]
There are so many Scriptures that encourage us to use the Word of God as our "daily bread." And they give us reasons why--that we might not sin against God (Psa.119:11), that we may be mature and equipped for good works (2 Tim.3:17), that we may know the truth (2 Tim2:15), that we may be "sharpened." Thank you for the good reminder. May we all take heed.

I probably need to check out the devotional Daily Bread. I don't think I've used it. Thanks, Angie.
ReplyDeleteLove this....and love the pic and the statement it makes! So good. Our daily bread gives us sustenance, but HIS daily bread gives us life. Thank you, sweet friend. T.
