Fasting like Daniel – Day 3

Provision

Fast: Breakfast

“Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 (NKJV)

Jehovah Jireh means God my Provider and is one of the names of God I cling to like bubble-gum at the sole of your favourite sneaker. He provides daily in more ways I can count to be thankful for! Financial provision, I found, is one of the biggest areas under attack in our lives and we can bring this to the feet of our Father during this fast.

Bread in this verse is the physical provision of food, but man does not live by bread alone… We need Jesus, our daily bread to feed and nurture our spirits. So, when the hunger pains and temptation from the fast start to niggle, remind yourself: “I need Jesus more than bread!”

Scripture: Matthew Chapters 6-8 and Daniel 9:17-19

Prayer: Father, thank You for Jesus Your only Son that freely sacrificed Himself for me so I can have Him as my daily bread. Jesus, please teach me how to use Your word as spiritual nutrition daily so I will never hunger. Amen.

(Tomorrow we fast from sun up to sundown.)
