GIVE THANKS
Matthew 6:11
" 'Give us this day our daily bread.' "
God is my source. Everything I have comes from His gracious hand. Saying "Grace" over my food may seem to be an empty ritual. But for me, it is a continual reminder that I am dependent on Him for even the basics of life. Jesus had a habit of giving thanks and blessing the food He ate (Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26-27; Luke 24:30; John 6:11), and the Apostle Paul gave thanks for food, even in the face of an impending shipwreck (Acts 27:35). If it was a good practice for Jesus and Paul, shouldn't I also be thankful? I acknowledge that God is my provider. God is good and gracious to supply my needs (Philippians 4:19)..
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Dependence on God's provision should result in thankfulness.

Have a thankful day. Love you.
