“We are praying for the same thing that Moses prayed for – that God will give us enough for our daily needs; this prayer does not allow for selfish hoarding. Like the rest of the Lord’s Prayer, this prayer is a request that God will meet the needs of the community.” –Michael Jay, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Are you careful to avoid hoarding?

Wisdom isn’t found

in outward study

but Inner Light.

Spirit-filled ones

are rivers of blessing.

The more they bless,

the more they flow.

The Spirit gives

without controlling,

and we freely ride

this river

of blessing.

–Jim Teeters, from “81” in Because of This
