When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He said, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). I’ve often wondered why He didn’t just give us bread that would last a lifetime. I’ve come to realize that we need to be renewed day by day. It’s how we’re wired. The longer we drive around with a full fuel tank, the longer we don’t need to refuel at the station. And the longer we stay away from the station, the less connected we are with the Source. And when we become disconnected from the Source, well, hopefully by now you can see where I’m going with this.
