In its inner and most important meaning, our daily bread signifies the realization of the Presence of God—an actual sense that God exists not merely in a nominal way, but as the great reality; we can rely upon Him to supply all that we need to have; teach us all that we need to know; and guide our step so that we shall not make mistakes. This is Emanuel, or God with us.
People think of their supply as coming from certain investments, or from a business, or from an employer, perhaps; whereas these are merely the channels through which it comes, God being the Source. A particular channel is likely to change, because change is the cosmic law for manifestation. Stagnation is really death; but as long as you realize that the Source of your supply is the one unchangeable Spirit, all is well. The fading out of one channel will be but the signal for the opening of another.
But my God shall supply all your need…(Philippians 4:19).
Man truly does not live by bread alone. The fulfillment of all our needs is to be found in the daily bread given us by God. But, as with all that sustains us, we must partake if it is to nourish us. We partake of all God’s blessings when we believe God’s word, accept and follow God’s will and when we embrace the changes it brings. Then we shall be nourished and fulfilled in body, mind and spirit.
Realizing God’s presence,
