I always thought the phrase
in the Lord’s Prayer, “Give us today our daily bread,” was a request for the Lord’s
provision and sustenance. It then stands to reason that I offer thanksgiving for
the food the Lord provides. However, it never occurred to me that having either
more or less than enough to meet my daily needs could hurt my relationship with
God. “Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but
give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and
say, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the
name of my God” (Proverbs 30:8-9 NIV).
