Our Daily Bread
“Everything included in the necessities and nourishment for our bodies, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, farm, fields, livestock, money, property, an upright spouse, upright children, upright members of the household, upright and faithful rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, decency, honor, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.”
Martin Luther, Small Catechism
“No one celebrates the presence and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ more than the person who has embraced his desperate and daily need of it.”
Paul Tripp, Dangerous Calling
“Some people think that God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The only way to trouble God is not to come at all. He encourages us to come to him repeatedly, and press our claims.”
D. L. Moody
“And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
“Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. He is neither ignorant, so that we need to instruct him, nor hesitant, so that we need to persuade him. He is our father — a father who loves his children and knows all about their needs.”
John Stott, The Message of the Sermon on the Mount
