daily bread - 3

daily bread
that is it, truly,
a complete reliance
with our Creator, with God
not by our own strength
by ourselves, with our flesh
relying on God for everything
for our daily bread

Matthew 6:5-15 (KJV)
“5 And when you pray, do not be as the hypocrites are,
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and
in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when you pray, enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
which is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret
shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knows
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.”

a tear in the fabric of time – v3

a slice through eternity,
a tear in the fabric of time,
there at the stable
in Christ’s birth, the Messiah,
laid in a manger bed,

changing our future, forever,
a focal point of history;
God entering creation,
God descending,
entering time.

a slice through eternity,
a tear in the fabric of time,
there at the Jordan
in Christ’s baptism, the Savior,
washed by his cousin John.
