Tuesday's slice of bread
It is easy to get ahead of where we should be as Prov. 19:2 indicates. God's provisions for us are, as Luke 11:3 points out, for this day our daily bread. And this is not just the physical bread but more importantly, that which feeds our spirits. As Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. (Matt. 4:4).

Daily Grace

God gives me grace daily
When I take of the living bread,
Strength as I need it,
Wisdom for my plans
From the living Head.

God gives me grace
For all I face,
But not until the time,
God gives me grace, and fully,
As is His good design.

I don't know what will face me
If any days will come,
But know that He will meet my needs,
He's done the needful sum.

God's grace is good and daily and sufficient as He planned,
And all I need to have it is
To stretch out a prayerful, obedient hand.
