Fresh Bread..

Over the last few weeks, the Lord has been speaking to us as a fellowship about His fresh bread which is available to us every day. We have access to the very bread of life..Jesus himself..and the Lord wants to be our daily bread.

I wrote a series of posts about Fresh bread last year and feel prompted to re-post again and so will be repeating them daily this week. This is the first. Have a blessed day my friends.

Mmmmm. The smell of fresh bread straight from the oven. Is there anything better?

The smell itself gets our tastebuds working and brings an anticipation of the delights ahead of us.

One of my earliest memories of my childhood in Scotland was being sent out for the “morning rolls” – bringing them home, baked fresh for our breakfast. Delicious and satisfying. A great start to the day ahead.

The beauty of our personal relationship with Jesus is that we can have fresh bread to feed our soul and spirit every day.

We are blessed with the privilege of access to our Father in heaven through Jesus, yet too often we are living off stale bread or crumbs from the table from lack of intimacy with Jesus.

I know how easy it is to be feeding my flesh and neglect the spiritual disciplines of reading my bible, prayer and fellowship.

It is so very easy to fall into the trap of our worldly culture that “grab and go” will suffice – a quick prayer here and there- but it’s not enough for us to grow and mature and to have reserves to draw on in times of trouble and difficulty which surely will come.

We would not from choice neglect to feed ourselves or purposely starve ourselves of food, but yet too often we starve ourselves spiritually.

There is a banqueting table which Jesus invites each one of us to daily to give us all we need for living life in service of Him.

To live daily in the freedom that He gives us, guilt free, fully equipped for the day ahead so we can overcome the flesh and walk in the spirit, rooted and built up in Him.

Come, let’s enjoy that fresh bread today.
