The stuff I want today

Maybe that's what you are thinking when you get to that petition of the Lord's Prayer which says "Give us this day our daily bread."  Perhaps you seriously believe it includes the latest Apple product, luxury car, promotion at work or even winning the lottery. 

It doesn't.

In the wilderness (see Exodus), Israel was hungry.  They cried out to God and God blessed them with manna.  They were to leave their tents each morning and gather this food into baskets - but just enough for one day.  If they gathered more than what they needed for one day, it would spoil and be useless the next morning.

They got enough for one day; it was their daily bread.

Each time we pray the Lord's Prayer we pray that God will continue this act of love and sustain us for one more day - whatever we need.  Jesus was trying to teach us that we are dependent on God - and God loves us enough to feed us in the desert.  Iphones are rarely included in the bargain.
