Daily Bread

"You are my daily bread. I never have to beg. You keep me hungry. You keep me fed." - lyrics to Daily Bread by Elyssa Smith

These words roll through my mind as I stare at this beautiful freshly baked artisan bread. I imagine the heavenly aroma wafting through the air as the promise of deliciousness invites me to linger a bit longer.

I imagine the steam floating up to the heavens as a representation of the sweet incense of sacrifice being laid down before the very One who is our Daily Bread.

The seeds scattered throughout the loaf represent the 1,000s of promises held in Him that are "Yes! & a resounding Amen!" as we feast upon the Promise Keeper.

My taste buds begin to dance as my mouth waters in anticipation to taste and see. Much like the sweetness on my tongue as I chew on His Word.

The heartiness of the bread satisfies my hunger, and yet the delicious flavor and warmth stirs my hunger back into the present. A dance of contentment and craving playing out. My heart recognizes the familiar waltz and I smile.

Jesus, You are my satisfication and my stirring. You are my contentment and my craving.

You are my Daily Bread.

I love you Jesus. Let me forever be feasting on You.
