St. Paul Lutheran Church

Daily bread. It’s what God gives us to sustain us each and every day of our lives. Daily bread is food, health, home, friends and family, resources…the list goes on. Daily bread is good. But as God’s Word teaches us, and Jesus reminds us, “man does not live on bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” We put our hope, and faith, and trust in God alone, and not the security of what the world can measure. In our message text this week God teaches the Children of Israel that daily bread focuses us on the giver, not the gift. It’s a message that strengthens our faith and dependence on the good gifts of God through Jesus Christ for our journey and life of faith.
