Our daily bread

Read Matthew 6:11 and Exodus 16
What were the provisions given to Moses and the Israelites in the desert? Are you given daily provisions that last only one day? What does daily bread mean to you today?
I love that in these passages, God gives His people the exact thing that they need for each day.  The exact amount.  Not too much, not too little.  As I think about the devotions we've already done this week, the thing that keeps coming to my mind is, "He knows." He knows exactly what we need.  and He provides.  What an awesome and loving Father that we have!

Perhaps today you just need an extra jolt of energy to get you through this busy day at work. Maybe you need just an extra five minutes of sleep because you were up late last night with a sick kid.  Maybe you need just a little bit more income this month to cover that unexpected bill that came in the mail.  Maybe you are feeling down and you just need an unexpected phone call or email from a friend to cheer you up. All of these scenerios have played out in my life before, and I can honestly say, God has come through each time.  Even in times where I didn't even ask. He has provided.  He is amazing!
