53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.

Psalm 37:5-7 New International Version (NIV)
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
7 Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Exodus 16:11-15 New International Version (NIV)
11 The Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was.
Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.
This was my 2nd to last sermon from the big church that I was going to. It is funny how God shows you what you learned or heard in church the week afterwards. I feel like that is part of that He has done for me. God has shown me what "Daily Bread" looks like. It is so simple yet so hard. It just depends on the situation you are in that day. I will say that this week has been hard in all ways. Work got loaded up and kids misbehaving. Then there is stuff about my personal life that was added on to that or vice via.
God does give us our daily bread/strength for each day. We need to stop trying to control each day before it gets here. We need to trust that God will give us what we need for that day and that day only. We need to trust that He has got the future under control and knows what is best for us. He will guide us with that daily bread. Just like He guide the people out of Egypt. He will provide what we need for each new day and that should be enough for us. We shouldn't ask or want anymore then that. Living in the moment is more important then living in the past or future.
I am writing this while I am getting over a really bad cold so God really has to give me strength for each day and what is funny about this is that it is Spring Break for me. I had all these plans and things I wanted to do for work but God had other plans I guess. Plans that made me rest for awhile and not be able to think about the things that I wanted to think about over break and probably really shouldn't either. God knows what He is doing and His Ways are the Best Ways. We just need to Trust Him completely and I know that is hard sometimes.
