Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread


Bread for my body

Food is made up of 6 parts:

  • minerals
  • vitamins
  • water
  • fat
  • protein
  • sugar

My body chooses what it needs to eat by a process called 'Biological Feedback' that gives me a sense of what I should eat. It is then broken down into tiny molecules by the digestive system and enters the liver to get lined up into whatever my body happens to call for at the time. Once whatever I eat is in it's smallest form or unit it can convert or line up to make any necessary element. If I eat fat my body can take it and break it down to make sugar if that's what it needs at the time.

Bread for my soul

I'm unsure of the parts of our soul because it is so elusive:

  • Personality
  • Emotions
  • Will
  • Attitude
  • Self-image

God's word feeds my soul, it works in me to create fruits of Christ-likeness. His word has given me identity, helps adjust my personality and attitudes. It has promised to work in me the will to accomplish God's purposes, but I need a little wisdom yet on how it effects my feelings. I know God get's angry and he is a jealous God, and of course he loves and hates.


Bread for My spirit

Little is known about the spirit:

  • Invisible
  • Eternal

From God's word we know that Jesus is the bread of life, everyday my spirit needs this bread to cover my sin and shame. By faith I accept the broken body of Christ to give me eternal life. Whenever I eat bread I am to remember the sweetest of it all.
