As we read any scripture, like the Psalms, we can feel
them and make them our own. Like Psalm
130, “O Lord, out of the depths I call you…”
So, we continue Jesus’ prayer of Mt. 6:11 with his appeal
and then requests: “Give us this day our daily bread…”
Notice first part of Mt. prayer
reminds us: His name “Our Father”, His kingdom “Heaven and
earth”, His will “Will be done.”, all establish who God is.
This part of prayer says who we are “give us bread…”
After He speaks of heaven
and earth, he reaffirms the physical, which for now, cannot be avoided. He
reminds us that the physical continually needs sustenance. The request is not
for abundance but for everyday source of need. We are involved with
heavenly Father everyday with the natural things. Daily bread is also symbolic for
daily life source.
We are to absolutely trust God will provide daily, every
second, every minute, every hour. No matter the immediate circumstance. Why?
Because that is Who He is! TRUSTWORTHY.
