Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread.”
It said that eating at least three square meals a day will allow us to have a balanced and healthy diet. Everyone is in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle because of the benefits that is attribute to it. A healthy lifestyle promotes, longevity, strength and vitality. In the same way, we must pursue a healthy and balanced life in Jesus.
When Jesus taught the disciples, he provided the model for prayer and the keys to have a healthy Christian walk. Jesus pointed out that we request our daily bread. Not just from a natural standpoint but also consider this request as a spiritual one. Daily Bread from heaven did not just act as provision in the wilderness for the people Israel but it was a sign of God’s faithfulness to meet our spiritual needs. He allowed them to see that they will not be forsake nor be left alone. He was building their faith and dependence on him.
When we request our daily bread, we are asking God to give us the insight and revelation into our day through his word. When we practice spending time in God’s presence and reading his word we are building a healthy appetite for the things of God. When we are feeding ourselves with the word of God, our spiritual appetite will remain full. We must become full of God’s promises, full of the truth, full of power, full of worship and full of faith! When we are full in God there is no room for anything else. Don’t leave space for anything that doesn’t align with a healthy and balanced life in God. Stay full on the word of God and refuse the additives…they are not needed!
