If you haven’t been reading Jennifer Arimborgo’s blog, Feeding on Jesus then let me introduce you to this dear sister. She has served for many years on the mission field in South America. Yet in spite of the distance, I enjoy this little nugget of truth that she shares today, and I hope you will also check out her weekly podcast.

We Don’t Supply the Bread — Feeding On Jesus
Bread
Verses For Easter – Week 1
With Easter just one month away, I thought to post one poem for each of these four weeks. While devotional writing walks with us step by step in the wilderness, poetry skips over the sea connecting unexpected wavetops. I pray that a few of these wave-tops will be a blessing to some.
Seven Loaves of the Bread of Life He took the seven loaves and the fish and having given thanks He broke them and gave them to the disciples and the disciples gave them to the crowds. Matthew 15:36 ESV Monday’s loaf was when the angels sang And shepherds knelt and the Heavens rang On Tuesday Mary dedicated Him In the temple like a lamb who was without sin At the Jordan On Wednesday Jesus was baptized And the dove descended to the bread of life Thursday’s loaf was when He broke the bread And He blessed the cup and He bowed His head Good Friday’s Bread was given for us And His blood poured down the rough rugged cross Saturday’s silence was the bread of sorrows As He lay in the tomb waiting for tomorrow Then on Sunday’s dawn came the Living Bread For all who believe He rose up from the dead!

One Loaf of Bread
Even if God showers us With ten thousand days times three We cannot save a single one For ourselves keep Like manna in the wilderness He gives one loaf each day And asks us with our neighbor to Share it along the way But when we hoard it is a sin An unbelieving seed And traveling with that visitor Are worry, stress and greed Till soon that good, sweet manna Turns to be as dry as sand Until we joyfully accept What God puts into our hands Then by His daily miracle He teaches us to trust That even just one loaf of bread In God’s own hand is much! Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat' John 6:31 ESV One Loaf of Bread by Peter Caligiuri copyright 2022 all rights reserved
