Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Matthew 6:11:
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
Today God’s portion will be enough. It will not be too little or too much. It will be enough for today; and we shall receive it in its own due measure. We trust God shall send it at just the right time.
We don’t have now all that we will need later today. We don’t have all the bread or water, grace, or love, or courage that we’re going to need. But what we do have now is enough. What we will need later God will give us at God’s appointed time — just in time. This is how we live by faith. It keeps us humble. It keeps us grateful. It keeps us reliant upon God and not upon ourselves.
There’s an old saying: “God is seldom early, but never late.” A farmer appreciates the early rains. They are what makes the seed take root. But the late rains are really what make the crop mature. And those the farmer has to wait on.
Wait and pray.
