Our Daily Bread

 Recently I heard a sermon on how we should be claiming our daily bread.

This grabbed my attention, as I listened intently I found my self thinking about what the preacher was saying and wondering how does one go about claiming this bread from heaven!

As I was pondering this a light went off! I have to agree with the preacher on this one, we should be asking for our daily bread every day and we should be expecting to receive it on a daily bases. 

We so often feel like we are not deserving of the blessings that "God has in store for us that we simply just don"t ask for more than what we get through out the day. We really need to change our way of thinking, and simply start asking and expecting the bread to fill our every need.

"Jesus taught His disciples how to ask when He taught them how to pray," give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11  "Jesus did not teach His disciples to ask for their daily bread from time to time, but rather to ask for it daily. 

By setting this example for His disciples shouldn't we too be asking for our daily bread as well? Not only should we be asking we should be believing that we will receive. "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Psalm 68:19

The "Lord is willing to load us daily with all that we stand in need of, its up to us to ask upon arising,  more importantly we should be believing that "God will deliver on his promises. Before your feet hit the ground in the morning make it a habit to ask for your daily bread, ad believing that you will receive.

The lost shall be found

 

Oh little flock of sheep how my heart does break and my soul weeps for you, you have lost your way. You fell for a lie one given to you when you were at your weakest!

Such sadness fills my heart, knowing you had a choice to make and you wondered off on a path that was all wrong for you, my heart is filled with sorrow.

Oh little flock you did not know your shepherd? You did  not see him standing there?

 He was with you all along, he never left your side, he whispered in your ear you didn't hear him calling. Come home little lamb the path you are about to take, will surely lead you down to the gates of hell! Oh how the evil one tricked you with his cunning ways, you didn't see through his lie.

He told you that the shepherd didn't care, oh little lamb of the Most High if you only knew just how much your shepherd loves and cares for you.


What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Luke 15:4

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.  Luke 15:5

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me: For I have found my sheep which was lost. Luke 15:6

Oh how my soul weeps for the lost lambs, children of the Most High, what evil has befallen you? May the lost find their way back into the fold of the "Good Shepherd." so often we are like the lost lambs who has wondered off, the adversary uses our weaknesses to trick us into thinking that the Good Shepherd doesn't care about us.

He is so cunning when he feeds us his lie! He leads us into thinking it is our own thoughts, when in reality it is his way of leading the flock astray. "God cares He will come looking for his sheep, He knows them by name.
