Daily Bread – Daily Healing
Daily Bread – Daily Healing
“Give us this day our daily bread.” (Matthew 6:11)
God wants to teach you to receive from him provision for your needs every day. The more you receive, the more mature you become. While parents teach their children to become independent, your loving Father teaches you to become increasingly dependent.
When Jesus teaches you to pray, give us this day our daily bread, he is teaching you to receive God’s provision for all your physical needs—food, clothing, shelter, and health. When talking with a Canaanite woman, even Jesus referred to healing as bread— “it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs” (Matthew 15:26). The alert woman responded, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table” (Matthew 15:27.)
Jesus was so impressed with the woman’s feisty faith that he healed her daughter instantly.
Yes, the healing of Jesus is your daily bread.
Loving Father, today I receive from you your daily bread healing in Jesus name.
