Title: The Lord Wants to Feed You Daily
Text:
Psalm 130:5-6 (ESV)
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
Observation:
How do you know that the Lord wants you to eat daily of the bread of life? I'm glad you asked. Here is how Jesus taught His followers to pray.
Luke 11:3 (ESV)
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
There are life lessons in the bible to be learned every day, and there are life lessons in our environment that will reinforce the lessons we learn from the bible.
We just need to open the eyes of our heart so that we might be able to see, and our ears that we might be able to hear what the Lord wants to say to us. O, how we need to pray this prayer every day.
Psalm 119:18 (ESV)
18 Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
When you read God's Word it is amazing how He will speak to you from His Word, and from your surroundings; He will speak to you out of things that have been stored up in your heart. Just now, He spoke to me from the words of this song that was stored in my heart.
"Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus, Speak that my soul may hear; Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus, Calm ev'ry doubt and fear. Speak to my heart, oh, speak to my heart, Speak to my heart, I pray; Yielded and still, seeking Thy will, Oh, speak to my heart today. "
I sent a message earlier this morning to a friend who exchanges messages of encouragement with me every day. In response to what he said to me, I said this to him.
I'm listening to and leaning on Jesus. Do the same and open your heart and your hands to receive your blessings from the Lord.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your most holy and righteous name. Father, thank you for being our shepherd and our friend.
Father, your people will be forever grateful for Your provisions and protection; for your power and peace; and for your presence and our pleasure. O, what a blessing we have of eating at The Table of the Lord daily.
Father, thank You from the depths of our hearts for all of our blessings. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
