When the prophet Elijah visited a widow during a famine, she scraped the bottom of her flour container every day.

Instead of running to the grocery store, she just kept scraping.

Is that faith or what?

Here's Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth.

God promised the jar will not run out.

The flour will not run out.

The oil will not run out until the day that this famine

is over. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Tuesday, August 30th, 2016.

Doesn't it feel good to be stocked up with plenty of food for an emergency or money in the bank for a rainy day?

Stocking up may add to your mental ease, but it won't necessarily grow your faith.

Let's talk about it as Nancy continues in her series, The Lord's Prayer. Well, you probably wondered how in the world we could ever spend a week talking about,

give us this day, our daily bread, and we've managed to just about do that. But on this final day of that portion of the Lord's Prayer,

I just want to pick up on a few other thoughts that have been

on my heart as I've been meditating on that petition from the Lord's Prayer. As we pray,

give us this day our daily bread. We're challenged to ask God each day for what we need for that day.

And we're reminded that the continual asking keeps us

continually dependent. I don't pray today, Lord, give me what I need for the rest of my life,

and then I'll pray again. And I don't pray just today when I'm desperate, give me my daily bread,

but tomorrow when I have a surplus, I don't pray that.

We're told to continually ask, give us this day our daily bread, so that we're reminded that we are

reliant on God one day at a time. Daily bread. That phrase in the original text means bread for the

coming day. So if you're praying this prayer in the morning, means bread for the coming day.
