My Sustainer

Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew 6:11

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4

O, God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you; 
your right hands upholds me.
Psalm 63:1-8

"Daily bread"
Bread.
Food.
The very thing that gives us energy and strength to move, to live.
Life.
Provision. In every circumstance. Commonplace activities. World-shattering trials.
All that we need.
Guidance.
Comfort.
Care.
Everything my soul thirsts for, my flesh faints for.
All that satisfies.

"Daily bread"
Daily.
Every morning. Every night.
When we need it. When we think we have it all together.
At the start of the difficult. At the end. And all during.
Step by step. Steps that compound to miles, covering days, weeks, years...
He gives what I need when I need it.

He tells me not to be anxious about anything. He tells me He will take care of all those things, because He knows I need them. But first, I must seek Him and His righteousness.

Ultimate satisfaction at every moment of my life. 
That is offered to me. I am told to pray this.
Jesus came that I may have an abundant life. Daily.

So what am I waiting for? What are you waiting for?
In Christ, there is no need for waiting or hoping for external (and temporary) desires and dreams. Just living. It is all abundant life with Christ.

Every day, God gives us exactly what we need. Not too much so that we wander from His hand. Not too little that we are blind and unprotected. He provides. He sustains, simply with His presence. I don't need a plan. I need God. Ultimate satisfaction can be ours when we delight ourselves in the Lord.
