Immanuel URC of DeMotte

Living Daily By God's Hand


Listen Later

The sermon centers on the theological and practical significance of the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer—'Give us this day our daily bread'—drawing from 1 Kings 8 and the Reformed tradition to emphasize a life lived one day at a time in faithful dependence on God. It calls believers to recognize that all physical needs are graciously supplied by God alone, not by human effort or merit, and that true contentment arises from trusting in His daily provision rather than relying on creatures or future plans. This daily dependence fosters humility, realism, and a prayerful posture, where each day is met with fresh reliance on God's faithfulness, not as a hand-to-mouth existence but as a life rooted in Christ's sufficiency. The sermon underscores that such dependence is not merely personal but extends to intercession for God's people and the broader mission that all nations may know the Lord is God, there is no other. Ultimately, living daily by God's hand is both a confession of faith and a disciplined practice of prayer, shaping a life that honors God in every moment and seeks His glory above all else.
