Give us today our bread for this day. -Matt. 6: 11, NW.
By asking for bread or food and drink for no more than today this prayer adopts the right attitude. It does not presume we shall be living tomorrow, mindful of Proverbs 27:1. In harmony with this prayer for just today's portion of food Jesus a little later on in this same sermon on the mount told us how God feeds the birds and clothes the flowers and said; țNever be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own evil.ț So, we ask today for only our daily bread. The way Luke 11: 3 words in the similar prayer reads: țGive us our bread for the day according to the day's requirement.ț (NW) This promotes no spirit of hoarding things to the denial of such things to other children of God. The Lord's prayer advises no greedy spirit. To the contrary, it advises godly devotion with contentment, which means great gain in a real way, a gain in happiness and blessing now and eternal life hereafter. W 8/15
