Our Daily Bread

Sisters, you have the power to choose every day where you will focus your attention.  Will you focus all of your time and energy on social media?  The constant stories about government corruption?  Stories about nonstop tragedies?  The rising price of milk, eggs, and gas?  Is your television on the news channel twenty-four hours a day?  It’s hard to even focus when you are constantly being bombarded with bad news all day long.  Or maybe you are focused on that special someone, your family, or even your place of employment. 

We can often become distracted by the circumstances around us, especially when the news is distressing.  That’s why we need to be sustained daily.  In spite of everything going on, God promised to keep us in perfect peace when we keep our minds on Him.  (Isaiah 26:3) 

Take a moment to answer these few questions:

  • Who sustains you?
  • What do you seek from God every single day?
  • What have you been focusing on today?

Do You Really Know Who You Serve?

God has been speaking to me about how little His people truly understand how great He is.  Our limited understanding cannot begin to comprehend His majesty, His sovereignty, or His character. 

Isaiah 40:12-31 gives us a glimpse of:

  • God’s power to create
  • God’s provision to sustain
  • God’s continued Presence to help

God spoke the world into existence.  Your words matter, so speak to life to everything around you.  We carry that creative power on the inside of us.  That’s why we have the power to influence the atmosphere.  Use your authority carefully.

God sustains us like no one else can.  He provides the vision and the provision.  He provides the manna to us each day, a right now word for our lives.  And His help is ever-present.  He’s always there; we just need to get into position.
