Previous Post of the Week 5/30-6/5

This may be my only post this week, as I am very busy with work, preparing for class next week, preparing for class in a few weeks, and writing some sermons for Sunday, as I have been blessed with the opportunity to preach at a small baptist church in Indiana for the next two weeks.

This week's highlighted previous post is: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.

Being American, I scarcely know what it means to “want,” let alone to “need.” The same is probably true for all of my fellow Americans. We have supermarkets, malls, large houses. Builders to make those houses, plumbers and electricians to repair them, and all sorts of aides for our everyday life. We are in such a lack of need that we forget what it truly means to be reliant upon God; or at least I do. I rarely second guess that it is a very real possibility that I will not have food to eat tomorrow or a place to sleep. Sure, I may run out of milk for my cereal, but I always have the back up granola bars.
