4 Steps in Daily Bread Living:
1 for all God’s blessings
When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. Deuteronomy 8:10 (NIV)
2 with what God has already given you
” give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. Proverbs 30:8-9 (NIV)
But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
3 that God will meet your needs day by day
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
4 toward others in need
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38 (NIV)
Asking for daily bread is prayer God answers
