Susan Lafferty“Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).
Contentment with what I hold in my hands is fleeting. Feeling it’s not quite enough.
Subtle dissatisfaction. And an inner push for “more than.”
Then, some days, I just ignore the meal set before me.
Distracted. By things less filling.
Learning Sabbath.
Before
Ten Commandments arrive
engraved in stone,
the Most High God
starts teaching His people
an expectation.
And provision.
Sabbath.
For 40 years
of wilderness training,
He clarifies
this ongoing need
for true rest.
In Him.
With a little thing
called manna.
Grumbling
against
leadership.
And
wilderness
living conditions.
Discontent
“if only”s
en route to
the promised land.
