We need ‘a portion for
each day... all the days of our life’ (Jeremiah 52:34). When, Lord. we
pray, ‘Give us this day our daily bread’, teach us to look beyond our
physical need for food. May we remember our spiritual need for ‘the
Bread of life’: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of
God’ (Matthew 6:11; John 6:35; Luke 4:4). Teach us, day-by day, to pray
for spiritual feeding: ‘Break Thou the Bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
as Thou didst break the bread beside the sea. Beyond the sacred page I
seek Thee, Lord. My spirit longs for Thee, Thou living Word! Thou art
the Bread of life, O Lord, to me, Thy holy Word the truth that saveth
me. Give me to eat and live with Thee above. Teach me to love Thy truth,
for Thou art love.’
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
