Daily Bread?

I read this story while I was doing my quiet time today and find it really exciting-because we serve a GOD who is extremely focused on meeting our needs!

***
There was this poor widow living in Mexico. She had two small children and was down to her last few cents. But she believed that GOD would meet the needs of her little family. She spent hours praying and asking GOD to give her directions as how she should spend her last few cents.

Eventually, she sensed that GOD was directing her to a large market in a nearby village. She had never been there before. She entered the building and sensed GOD telling her to get a shopping cart and fill it with a three months' supply of groceries! When her cart was overflowing with the essentials for her little family, she approached the checkout lanes and sensed GOD directing her to lane number seven.

There was only one man in front of her. When the clerk was finished with him, she pulled a chain across the lane and said, "sorry, it's my lunchtime. you'll have to go to another lane."
The widow look at the clerk and said, "no, my Father told me to come here. i'll wait."

After the clerk returned, she found the lady standing patiently beside her cart of grocerries. She unloaded the items on the conveyor belt. The widow's heart was pounding as the bill began to mount. She nervously fingered the 22 cents in her worn purse.

When the next-to-the-last-item was being rung up, the noise of the supermarket was interupted by the sound of the manager's voice through the intercom. "Attention, shoppers! Whoever is being checked out right now in lane number seven will receive all groceries absolutely free- compliment of our market."

Give us this day our daily bread- let this portion of the Lord's Prayer be a constant reminder that GOD has promised to take care of us!

Know it!
You can trust the Creator of the universe to take care of you. If He cares for the animal kingdom, the plant life, and all of nature, think how much more He'll care for you! Thank God for caring for your deepest needs. Ask Him to help you remember that He will always provide for your physical and spiritual needs!
