Series: When We Pray…
Give Us Today Our Daily Bread…
Matthew 6:11
Mountain View Evangelical Missionary
Church
Three sermons ago, we had a bit of an introduction to this section of
Matthew chapter six which is part of the great teaching from Jesus collectively
known as the Sermon on the Mount. In week one we discovered three main points:
- Do not pray
hypocritically. Like so many other areas of our Christian lives, Jesus is
concerned with our heart attitude when it comes to our prayers and our
prayer life.
- The next lesson
that we extracted from the text was that you are not limited to a
“sacred space” such as a prayer closet but, rather… we should think that we
are entering a sacred space when we pray because we are
entering into the Father’s presence.
- Finally, we saw
that Father knows best. We must trust that when the Lord grants, delays,
or denies our prayer requests, He is doing so because it is best for us
and will bring the most Glory to God.
That was the first lesson of this series.
Two sermons ago, we examined these points found in Matthew 6, verse 9:
- We are to pray
to the Father. The prayer found here in Matthew 6 and a similar prayer
found in Luke 11 are examples of how we are to pray, and not
specifically the words that we are to pray every time.
- We also learned
that we should think of prayer as a form of worship.
- The final point
that we examined that week was, that since prayer is a form of worship,
and worship is reserved for God alone, we are not to pray to anyone else
except to God, preferably to the Father. We can pray to Jesus, for He
intercedes on our behalf, but the example that Jesus sets for us is to
pray to the Father.
That was the second lesson of the series.
Last lesson we discovered the following points:
1.
We read how God’s name is to be regarded as “hallowed” or Holy and should
be spoken with a sense of awe and reverence.
2.
Included in last week’s verses was the thought that God is a King and He has
a Kingdom. As followers of Jesus, we should be anticipating that the Lord will return,
and the thought of His Kingdom reinforces our need to make Him Lord.
3.
We discovered that one of the purposes of prayer was to bend our will to
God’s will and we examined how we should commit to following Jesus by moving
from just accepting Him as Savior and we should embrace the concept of making
Jesus Lord of our lives. We should do this because Jesus is a King and He has a
Kingdom. A kingdom that is both in Heaven and on Earth.
OK, that’s enough of the recap. Let us open our Bibles or turn to our
devices and let’s look together at today’s passage. Please turn to Mathew
chapter six starting at verse 9.
I advise reading the entire prayer so that we can have some context to
what we are studying this morning, verses 9-15, then you should pray, and then
we will come back and zero in on verse 11 which we will be looking more deeply
at today.
So, please read Matthew 6:9-15.
PRAY
Let me just take a minute to address something that you may have noticed throughout
the last few weeks. Have you been getting a little twitch when I have been
reading this prayer, and does it seem like I have been missing or skipping a
verse at the end of the prayer? Have you been itching to hear the words, “For
thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever, amen?” Let me
explain why these words have been missing. If you look in your Bible, there
should be a letter and a footnote at the end of verse 13 if those words are not
part of the main text.
The footnote should say something in the manner of “these words are found
in later manuscripts.” I remember as a kid when I was going through Catholic catechism
classes having to memorize this prayer and the Catholic church teaches the
additional verse. Here’s the thing, this verse only appears in later
manuscripts.
Of course, you know, that there were no document scanners or photocopiers
back in the day and these manuscripts would all have to be copied one at a time
by hand. Often by a monk, by candlelight with ink and a quill. Somewhere along
the way, a monk decided to add this little phrase to show more honor and Glory
to God. It wasn’t a terrible addition, and it certainly didn’t add anything
theologically to the passage.
The thing is, today’s Bible translators have so many more manuscripts, or
parts of manuscripts to compare against each other and they can discover these
types of discrepancies and then remove them from the main body of the text and
turn them into a footnote all in the name of accuracy. They do this in an
attempt to make the best possible Bible and to be as faithful to the originals
as they can be. This whole art and science is known as “textual criticism” and
there is a whole field of study in this area.
Some translations of the Bible have chosen to leave it in the main body of
the text like the King James Version has, but for the sake of accuracy, most
modern translations have moved it to the sidelines. I just wanted to address this
in case it was bugging you as I was reading this passage over and over.
It is important that you be aware of these things and I’ll tell you why.
This morning I came across a short video put out by a fellow who calls himself
the Muslim Cowboy, his name, not my label. Anyway, he put out a short video
showing the same sort of thing in a different place in Matthew. Matthew 17:21
has also been removed from the body of the text and become a footnote. The
reason for this omission is that earlier manuscripts have been found where this
verse is not present. Verse 21 is a word-for-word copy of Mark 9:29.
Speculation is that a copyist who was familiar with the Mark account simply
added Mark 9:29 to Mathew 17 after verse 20. That was a human error, that was
discovered by faithful Bible scholars, who then removed Matthew 17:21 as a way
of being faithful to the text in the original documents. But false teachers
like The Muslim Cowboy use these methods by the biblical scholars to sow doubt
in your mind that the Bible is not trustworthy. They sow these seeds of doubt
by not telling you the complete story and the reason why newer translations
have omitted or corrected theses copying errors. The thing is the Bible
translators are completely open and transparent about what they have done in an
attempt to be accountable. But, false teachers come along and try to dissuade
you from believing the Bible. I think we can tell this man’s motives from the
name of his channel, “The Muslim Cowboy”.
If you want to dive into this a little deeper, search YouTube for Dr.
James White and the inerrancy of scripture. There are several good talks that
Dr. White has given at various conferences over the years where he explains
these things in greater detail than I can do this morning. I highly recommend
watching them. They will increase your level of assurance and how you can trust
the Bible.
Well, we have done a little correction, a little recap, and a little
housekeeping and we haven’t even gotten to today’s passage. Let’s get started,
shall we? Last week we concluded the first half of the prayer by looking at the
first three petitions of this prayer. Petitions that are designed to properly
orientate ourselves towards God and bring to the forefront of our mind and our
prayer, the character of God that He has. Our God, whom we gather each week to
worship and to learn from, is a personal, loving, and powerful Father.
When we understand this in the very depths of our hearts, then the content
of our prayers will be radically affected in two ways.
First, God’s concerns will be given priority over our concerns. This is
the express goal demonstrated through the order of the petitions in this
prayer. God’s role and name, the importance of His Kingdom, and the fulfillment
of His will are given preference over our self-centered requests.
I haven’t mentioned this fact yet, but if you think about it, this prayer
follows the structure of the Ten Commandments. Here is your homework assignment
for this week: after the service turn to Exodus chapter 20, starting in verse 1,
and observe how the first four commandments are centered on God and our
relationship with Him, and how the rest of the commandments are centered on our
behaviours. The first four commands are vertical, and the rest are centered horizontally
and how we live with each other. I mention this fact, just to show how
consistent God is throughout His teaching.
The second thing that the arrangement of this prayer teaches us is that
our own needs, though demoted to second place, will yet be completely committed
to Him. We will be looking at this truth today and in the next few weeks. The
three requests exemplified in this prayer start with: “give us”, “forgive us”,
and “deliver us” and they all still give major consideration to the Father.
Let’s turn back to today’s passage and read the verse that we are going to
consider more closely today. You all should still be in Matthew 6, and that
would still be on page 787 of the pew bible.
READ MATTHEW 6:11
Verse 11 starts with a petition for our physical needs. Beginning with
this first request, these three requests cover all of our physical and
spiritual needs. On this point, Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones wrote the following:
“Our whole life is found there in those three petitions, and that is what
makes this prayer so utterly amazing. Our Lord has covered the whole life of
the believer in every respect. Our physical needs, our mental needs, and of
course, our spiritual needs are included. The Body is remembered, the soul is
remembered, the spirit is remembered. And that is the whole of man.”
Let me repeat, “Our whole life is found there in those three petitions,
and that is what makes this prayer so utterly amazing. Our Lord has covered the
whole life of the believer in every respect. Our physical needs, our mental
needs, and of course, our spiritual needs are included. The Body is remembered,
the soul is remembered, the spirit is remembered. And that is the whole of
man.”
Isn’t that comforting to know this? This Scripture tells us that all our
needs are met through Christ from the Father. Notice I said needs, not wants.
This is where the false teachings of the health and prosperity teachers get it
wrong. What doesn’t this passage say? This prayer does not tell us that we will
be rich beyond our wildest dreams, or that we will all own big homes simply
because we follow Jesus. Or that we will all drive Mercedes because we pray for
them. When we read Scripture and we read into the text a specific
interpretation that was not meant by the original author, that is known as eisegesis.
Eisegesis is the opposite of exegesis, which is the extracting, or discovering
in the text the proper meaning that the original writer meant when they wrote
that text to the audience at that time.
All these false teachers like Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar,
and others all practice eisegesis by reading into the text exactly what
they want to find there. They will take a passage like this that is meant to
bring us comfort from the fact that we have a loving Father in Heaven who will
provide for His children, and they will twist it to show that God will just
give us whatever we ask for and if we don’t have something it is simply because
we don’t have enough faith to ask for it. That is hogwash. This teaching is not
only false and dangerous, but it is designed to make them rich by sucking every
dollar from you that they can.
Are you failing? Send them a faith gift so that God will pour out His
blessings on you. Or, buy this book on prayer and you will succeed. Plant this
seed of giving today and you will reap rewards in the future. Please don’t fall
for any of this nonsense. This is why we are always to read Scripture in light
of Scripture. The Bible does not contradict itself. There are no errors in
God’s Word. If we find an error or contradiction when reading Scripture, the
error lies in our understanding of what we are reading, not in the intention of
the one who wrote it.
The Bible warns us of the dangers of following false teachers. 2 Timothy
4:3-4 warns us, “3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number
of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They
will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”
The Apostle Paul was warning the young pastor
Timothy to not fall into the temptation of chasing after the crowds by teaching
them false teachings simply to attract them and tickle their ears with the
myths that they desire to hear.
You might be thinking right now that the Bible
also teaches that God delights in giving us the desires of our hearts.
It is true that twice in Psalms the desires of our
hearts are mentioned. We read in Psalm 20 what appears to be promises that God
will give us the desire of our hearts. A careful reading of the Psalm shows
that this was a Psalm written by David in a time of war, and the purpose of the
Psalm was to align the hearts and prayers of the Israelites to desire victory
in the coming battle and to give the credit for the anticipated victory to God
and not to themselves.
That is the exegesis of that Psalm, but the false
teachers will pluck the second half of verse 5, “May the LORD grant all your
requests”. They will take this verse completely out of context and use it as a
proof-text of their false teachings.
Psalm 37:4 also speaks of
the LORD giving us the desires of our hearts. Scripture reads, “4 Take
delight in the Lord, and he will
give you the desires of your heart.” Well, what about that passage pastor Paul,
it seems like that his passage is telling us that God will give us the desires
of our hearts, and I desire a big house, a fancy car, and a fat bank account.
It does seem like that
doesn’t it? At least it does if we ignore the qualifying statement that is in
the first half of the verse. Most people skip right over the “Take delight in
the LORD” statement. Most people think, of course, I will take delight in the
LORD if He is giving me what I ask for.
This is a perfect example
of needing more Scripture to help us understand and correct this wrong teaching
about this passage. When we read passages like Psalm 37:4 we need to keep in
mind Scripture such as Romans 12:2 which reads,
“2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Paul is
telling us to allow our minds to be transformed by the Holy Spirit, and when we
do we will resist the patterns and temptations of the world, of our culture, we
will be able to spot and resist the false teachers and cling to what is good
and what God’s will is for our lives. Paul tells us that God’s will is pleasing
to His children. That is a method that we can use to determine if we are truly
His children. Are we satisfied with what God has given us, or do we covet what
others have?
Another passage to help us
interpret passages that seem to tell us that God is there for our pleasure is
Galatians 5:16-17. This passage is in a section of Scripture where Paul has
been warning the Galatians against those who were using their newfound freedom
in Christ to throw off all their inhibitions and chase after their desires.
Just before Paul gets to the section where he shows us the proof of our
Salvation with the fruit of the Spirit, Paul gives us this advice, “16 So
I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For
the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is
contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other so that, you are
not to do whatever you want.”
Paul was teaching the
Galatians, and by extension, us today that we must guard against the desires of
the flesh, not just sexual desires, but when our flesh desires the great
comforts of life more than we desire our relationship with Jesus Christ. When
we ignore the promptings of the Holy Spirit and chase after the desires that
are contrary to what the Spirit is teaching us, what God’s Word is teaching us,
then we conflict with God and we need to do a course correction.
Please, brothers and
sisters, don’t let false teachers, slick advertising campaigns, manipulation by
others, or even our own fallen nature that put us in conflict with the Lord. We
must align our wills with the will of the Father.
We discovered in the past weeks that one of the
primary purposes of prayer is to bend our will to the Father’s will. To align
our desires with the Father's desires for us. That is one of the primary
lessons for this entire prayer found in Matthew chapter 6.
Are you seeing the consistency in God’s Word? Don’t be fooled by people
who try to tell you that there are contradictions or mistakes in the Bible, it simply
isn’t true.
Ok, so we have established that the Father is a
giver. Not an indiscriminate giver. Not a Father who treats us like spoiled
children and grants us our every request. But rather, He treats us like a
loving Father, granting those requests that are in keeping with His will, and
that are beneficial for us. A loving, caring, personal Father.
The Father is so generous that He gave us the
greatest gift of all, the gift of Grace. He gave us His Son as a substitutionary
sacrifice so that we could have a way back to Him in a restored relationship.
The next thing that we can extract from this
passage is that our daily needs are met by the Father.
Just a little historical and cultural context
here: let’s examine the diet of those in the times of Jesus and the
agricultural practices of that time in that region of the world.
The majority of calories for the people groups of
the Near Middle East were derived from three main sources: bread, olive oil,
and wine. These were supplemented by fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy, and
meat, all of which varied depending on seasons, local weather, the social and
economic standing of the people eating the food, the shifting geo-political
realities, and annual rainfall.
Let me go through a quick list of the foods that
are mentioned in the Bible and then I’ll explain that last statement. Foods
that are mentioned in the Bible or have been discovered through
archaeologically digs of that period are: grain, olive oil, wine as mentioned
as well as, grapes, vegetables, lentils, fava beans, filed peas, chick peas,
figs, dates, pomegranate, almonds, pistachios, honey, locusts, lamb or mutton,
goat, beef, gazelle, deer, fish (both fresh and preserved), fresh milk, cheese,
ghee (which is a form of liquid butter), and fowl (both domesticated and wild).
That’s a rundown of the various sources of the calories for the people of the
region in biblical times.
Let me explain what determined the variations in
their diets. If you lived on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea you probably
ate more fresh fish and seafood than you did mutton or beef. Those in the
plains were farmers and herdsmen so they would have had preserved fish rather
than fresh, as well as more goat, lamb, beef, deer, or gazelle. Both coastal
people and plains people probably kept domesticated fowl as they would not
require much room, so fresh eggs would have been available to most.
Running down the spine of this region was the Silk
Road which was a major trade route with India and into China. This would have
given the people along that route the opportunity to trade for more exotic food
and spices at a cheaper rate and then they would sell or trade with those going
towards the coastal region where the same goods would have become increasingly
more expensive as they traded hands to get to them.
Remember, they didn’t have refrigerators or
freezers, so apart from smoking, drying, salting, or pickling, your options for
preserving food were limited. Your diet would change with the growing season
for the various foods and as the differing crops would mature or ripen, you
would incorporate those foods into your diet.
Here is some interesting facts for you grain
producers. Wheat was primarily grown in the Jezreel Valley, the Upper Jordan
Valley, and the Beth-Shen Valley. These were all coastal valleys and they had
the appropriate rainfall amounts and soil conditions. Durham wheat was the
primary variety of wheat grown simply because of its ease of milling. Emmer
wheat and other wild varieties were also grown.
The durum wheat was typically sown in November and
December which coincided with the early rains, and it would be harvested in
May. Production was dependent on early rainfall as well as adequate rainfall in
the late spring and early summer which would result in producing the highest
yields. The durum wheat of this region thrives in areas that receive 500-700
millimeters of rain annually, but it can produce in areas the get as little as
225 millimeters of rain.
Barley was also grown in the region, but it was
better adapted to soils that had high salinity and alkalinity. Barley was grown
in the regions of the Northern Negev, Palestinian hill country, and parts of
the Transjordan area.
Ancients typically consumed grain in the form of
bread. The Bible also records grain being eaten as roasted kernels, as fresh
ears, or as a porridge when mixed with water. There are numerous types of bread
known, as well as several ways that bread could be prepared. Milling grain for
bread by hand was a laborious process; it has been estimated that the grinding
and sieving process could take as much as three hours to produce enough flour
for 5–6 people for one day’s consumption. Breads were either leavened or
unleavened. It could be baked on stones heated in the coals of a fire, on an
iron pan or griddle, or in beehive-shaped oven called a tannur. Breads, cakes, wafers, and grain were so important to the
diet that the words for bread in both Hebrew and Greek are used to mean food in general. The caloric contribution
grain made to ancient diets is quite high compared with modern Western
diets—estimates fall somewhere between 53–75% of calories from grain—but the higher
figure may be too low an
estimate for people who were poorer.
While our most current evidence suggests that
ancient Israelites ate more meat than scholars of the late nineteenth century
believed, meat made a relatively minor contribution to the diet of most people.
Recent attempts to estimate meat consumption have led to estimates of between
30 and 70 grams of meat consumption per person per day. With this amount, meat
was neither an unknown luxury nor the cornerstone of the average diet.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus refers to Himself as
the Bread of Life. Turn with me in your Bibles to John chapter 6, starting in
verse 25. That would be page 865 in the Pew Bible.
READ JOHN 6:25-40
Let’s take a plain reading of this text and see what it is telling us
here. Jesus refers to Himself as the Bread of Life because this event happens
shortly after the feeding of the five thousand where the multitude was fed with
five small barley loaves and two small fish. The Lord provided for those
present by supernaturally multiplying what was brought to Him and miraculously
fed over five thousand. Now at that event, Jesus provided for them physically.
He met their physical needs, but we started today’s lesson by reading a quote
from Dr. Lloyd-Jones that pointed out that God provides for all of man, body,
soul, and spirit. In this passage in John. Jesus is addressing the needs of our
soul and spirit. In verse 26 Jesus confronts the crowd for coming after Him
only to have their physical needs met. Like those who chase the prosperity and
Gospel or those who use the church for personal gain or comfort.
Verse 29 Jesus addresses the very essence of why He came to Earth, “The
work of God is this; to believe in the one he has sent”. In verse 32 Jesus goes
on to correct their incorrect theology that they believed that Moses had given
them the manna, and Jesus said hang on a tick, it wasn’t Moses but the Father
in Heaven who supplied the manna.
Now look at verse 35, Jesus declares that ““I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and
whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told
you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.” There were people even in
the days of Jesus who saw all the miracles yet they still refused to believe.
Now, if you stopped here, it seems like we have the choice of coming to Jesus.
That we initiate this step in our Salvation.
But look at verse 37, and we have to look at verse
35 and 36 in the context of verse 37. 37 says, “ 37 All those the
Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will
never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to
do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.”
What was the will of the Father? That Jesus should
live a perfect earthly life, and remain sinless, so that He could be the
spotless Lamb of God and thus be the only possible atoning sacrifice that would
satisfy the wrath of God.
Look at verse 39 as it continues, “39 And
this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has
given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my
Father’s will is that everyone” stop there. Who is the “everyone”? All
that the Father has given to Jesus. Not everyone in the world and not even
everyone who comes to Jesus on their own desires and conditions. Everyone that the
Father has given Jesus. Continuing in verse 40, “For my Father’s will is that everyone who
looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise
them up at the last day.”
That’s it, that is the Gospel message in a
nutshell. Those that the Father draws to the Son and who believe in the
completed work on the Cross of Jesus Christ and who believe that He was raised from
the dead will be saved. Friends, if you are here today and are hearing this
message, it is my sincere belief that the Father is drawing you to Jesus. Do
not delay, do not hesitate, and accept the free gift of Grace that the Father
is extending to you through His son Jesus Christ.
Back to the topic of food. Apart from vegetation
being mentioned in Genesis as a generic term, there is only one list of
vegetables in the Hebrew Bible. Numbers 11:5 lists cucumbers, melons, leeks,
onions, and garlic. The list appears in the context of foods the Israelites
associated with Egypt while they wandered in the wilderness. Vegetable cultivation
was more heavily dependent on irrigation (common in the Nile delta) and was not
convenient for those who lived in a geography and climate that was better suited
to the use of seasonal rains (the land of Israel).
One writer suggests that it may have been people at the
extreme ends of the economic scale who commonly ate vegetables: Those who were
wealthy and could afford the land and labor for cultivating a vegetable crop,
and those who were poor who could gather vegetables that could be found in the
wild. Other vegetables that may have been available are turnips, radishes,
carrots, watermelon, and kale. I have it on good authority that no one liked
kale in those days either.
One commentator put it
this way, “Ultimately, local conditions—whether geographic, political, social,
or economic—contributed to the variety of the foodstuffs consumed by people who
lived in Gibeon, Jerusalem, Ashkelon, or Tel Chinnereth. Despite an
individual’s status, the “Mediterranean triad”—grain, olive oil, and
wine—formed the basis of an ancient Israelite’s diet.”[1]
I said all of that to show
you one thing. What did all of those things require? Two things; first the
provision of God for the seeds, livestock, rain, soil, and growing conditions
to produce those things. That was God’s part. The second thing that was
required was effort from mankind. Fish had to be caught, crops had to be
planted and harvested, livestock had to be raised, slaughtered and preserved or
traded. Fruit had to be picked. Grapes and olives had to be crushed. All this
required effort from men and women.
Again, we will turn to
Scripture to help us understand what Scripture is saying to us. Matthew 6:11
tells us that we are to ask our Father to give us today our daily bread. But
apart from a very brief time in biblical history, (forty years to be exact) as
outlined in Exodus chapter 16, except for the period when the Jews were wandering
in the wilderness and God provided the manna from Heaven, man has had to work
to produce his food.
2
Thessalonians 3:10-12 gives us these very wise words of instruction, “10 For
even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not
willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For
we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.
12 Now such persons
we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and
to earn their own living.”
Let’s look at what that passage says. “If anyone is not willing to
work, let him not eat”. This does not apply if the person is not able to
work. But… if a person is able to work they must work in order to eat.
It doesn’t say that they are only to work at high-paying jobs or easy types of
labor. Paul is warning us that those who are too fussy to work at jobs that
they deem are below them are not to be supported. If we can work, then we are
instructed by the Bible that we are to be willing to work.
There is such a wide variety of jobs available in this world today, that I
only see a very narrow range of reasons for people not to be working. We are made
for work.
Alright, we are over time, so I am going to short shrift this last point
and that is we are to be givers as well.
It is by God’s providence that the reminder is at the bottom of page 5 in
your bulletin this morning. Roxanne sent me this reminder to you all to include
in the bulletin last night long after this passage had been chosen to preach
this morning.
Because we are the Father’s adopted children, we are to emulate the
Father. He gives us everything and all that He asks is that we return a small
portion of the first fruits back to Him.
This concept is taught all throughout the Bible but it is seen as early as
Genesis chapter 4. Genesis 4:2-5 says, “Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In
the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering
to the Lord. 4 And
Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his
flock. The Lord looked with favor
on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did
not look with favor.”
I will confess to you
that this is an area that I am constantly trying to improve upon. It is an area
of trust and faith. When we give from the first fruits of our labor, especially
when there seems to be more month than money ahead, it allows God to prove His
faithfulness and provision once more.
