1 Samual 30:1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

Philippians 4:15-19, 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but YOU only. 16 For even in Thessalonica YOU sent aid once and again for my necessities…18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from YOU, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all YOUR need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus
Psalm 37:3, Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

Matthew 6:10, Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
What Jesus instructed His disciples to pray was not a wish, it was a method for getting things done in a way that glorifies God.
We live within systems of our society.
We are also citizens of God's kingdom.
We have advantages that are not available to civil kingdoms.
The kingdom of God is the alternative to the kingdom of this world.
An “alternative” simply means there is another way.
We are not limited by the choices this world offers us.

Matthew 6:11, Give us this day our daily breadGod is a God of provision and detail. Jesus stated that the hairs on our head (or lack thereof!) are numbered (Luke 12:7). This is a saying meant to convey God’s deep concern for His children.This part of Jesus’ instruction to His disciples on prayer was very simple, but there is profound truth behind it. Some of explanations of this text include (From William Barclay’s Commentary on the New Testament):1. The bread has been identified with the bread of the Lord's Supper.2. The bread has been identified with the spiritual food of the word of God. Taken to be a prayer for the true teaching, the true doctrine, the essential truth as our food.3. The bread has been taken to stand for Jesus Himself. Jesus called himself the bread of life (John 6:33-35)4. The bread has been taken to be the bread of the heavenly kingdom. Luke tells how someone said to Jesus: “Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!” (Luke 14:15).“Daily” Bread Has a Special MeaningThe Greek word “daily” is only used here and in Luke’s Gospel of the same prayer: ἐπιούσιος – epiousiosIn the early part of the 20th Century a papyrus fragment (a material which people used for writing) was found with the Greek word, ἐπιούσιος, on it. The papyrus fragment was actually a shopping list! It was a note to remind the person to buy supplies of a certain food for the coming day.From this context, the literal meaning of “daily bread” is: “Give me the things we need to eat for this coming day.”This simple prayer for our everyday needs reveals FIVE truths:1. We understand that God cares for our bodies. Jesus showed us that; he spent so much time healing men's diseases and satisfying their physical hunger.2. We understand to live one day at a time, and not to worry and be anxious about the distant and unknown future.3. Praying for daily provision puts God His proper place in our lives.4. This pray reminds us of how prayer works.5. Jesus did not teach us to pray: “Give ME my daily bread.” He taught us to pray: “Give US our daily bread.”The problem of hunger in our world is not a lack of provision. There is enough to go around. The problem is a lack of distribution. This prayer teaches us never to be selfish in our prayers.
It is a prayer that we can help answer by being obedient to God and showing the same level of concern/detail for the needs of others as for ourselves. This prayer is not only a prayer that we may receive our daily bread; it is also a prayer that we may share daily bread with others.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How has your understanding of Give us this day our daily bread been expanded? What will it change in your lifestyle?
