The 7 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

The Monday loaf was when angels sang

And shepherds knelt and the Heavens rang

On Tuesday Mary dedicated her son

At the temple then trusted His will to be done

At the Jordan On Wednesday Jesus was baptized

And the dove descended onto the bread of life

Thursday’s loaf was when He broke the bread

And He blessed the cup and He bowed His head

On Friday His body was given for us

And His blood poured down that old rugged cross

Saturday’s silence was a bread of sorrows

As He lay in the tomb waiting for tomorrow

Then on Sunday’s rising came the Living Bread

For all who believe Jesus rose from the dead!

 

Daily Bread

Tonight my wife was in a baking mood so she decided we are having homemade bread. The aroma of it in the oven is enough to get my taste buds tuned up for the big pot of chile simmering on the stovetop.

When Jesus taught us to pray for daily bread it was not only as a check on our tendency to worry; but also out of a fatherly concern for us to have a healthy spiritual diet. Friends will be stopping by later just to be able to eat a piece straight out of Nancy’s oven!

We need to take more seriously our prayer for daily bead. If we ask Him our Father has promised to provide fresh daily bread. Then maybe folks will stop by not only for my wife’s famous recipe bread, but for also for some bread straight out of God’s own oven!
Those who pray best, pray for today’s not tomorrow’s needs. Our prayers for tomorrow’s needs may be unnecessary because tomorrow might not exist at all” E M Bounds
