Matthew 6:11: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread. 

Matthew 6:11 (KJV): Give us this day our daily bread. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread."
   What a statement of trust! Whatever you want me to have is 
all I want. Some days the plate runs over. God keeps bringing out 
more food and we keep loosening our belt. A promotion. A privilege. A 
friendship. A gift. A lifetime of grace. An eternity of joy. There are times 
when we literally push ourselves back from the table, amazed at 
Gods kindness. You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of 
my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup fills with 
blessing (Psalms 23:5). 
   And then there are those days when, well, when we have to eat 
our broccoli. Our daily bread could be tears or sorrow or 
discipline. Our portion may include adversity as well as opportunity. 
   This verse was on my mind last night during family devotions. 
I called my daughters to the table and set a plate in front of 
each. In the center of the table I placed a collection of food: some 
fruit, some raw vegetables and some Oreo cookies. Every day, I 
explained, God prepares for us a plate of experiences. What kind of 
plate do you most enjoy? 
   The answer was easy. Sara put three cookies on her plate. 
Some days are like that, arent they? Some days are three cookie 
days. Many are not. Sometimes our plate has nothing but vegetables - 
twenty-four hours of celery, carrots, and squash. Apparently God knows we 
need some strength, and though the portion may be hard to swallow, 
isnt it for our own good? Most days, however, have a bit of it all. 
Vegetables, which are healthy but dull. Fruit, which tastes better and we 
enjoy. And even an Oreo, which does little for our nutrition, but a lot 
for our attitude. 
   All are important and all are from God.
   The next time your plate has more broccoli than apple pie, 
remember who prepared the meal. And the next time your plate has a 
portion you find hard to swallow, talk to God about it. Jesus did. In 
the garden of Gethsemane his Father handed him a cup of suffering so 
sour, so vile, that Jesus handed it back to heaven. My Father, 
he prayed, if it is possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet 
not as I will, but as you will (Matt. 26:39). 
   Even Jesus was given a portion he found hard to swallow. But 
with Gods help, he did. And with Gods help, you can too. [Max
