You know there is nothing better than freshly baked bread. It smells so wonderful. It tastes even better. Yet I find myself settling many times for week old bread. You can still eat it, but it just isn't as satisfying. You know I am just thinking over the fact that I cannot live on spiritually old bread. The physical body doesn't do well when we are eating bread that is old and moldy (not to mention that it just taste bad). I can't understand why I find myself not looking for freshly baked spiritual bread. I so often settle for all the old words from God when He has a fresh word for me every day. I just don't understand myself. I never have to settle on crumbs or old bread. I pray that I will seek my Father daily for my bread. So my prayer is that I ask my Father to give me this day my daily bread each day.Words to encourage, lift up, correct and draw us nearer to God. My hope is that you are lifted up on wings like eagles.

The song “ Hard Fought Hallelujah ” was playing on the radio, and it occurred to me that even in hard times, we cannot allow our circumstanc...
Wonderful thoughts, Beverly. This is a challenge to me not to settle for crumbs, burnt toast or what-have-you.
