Stirred By The Scriptures

I was thinking about the prayer I was taught as a child - “God is great, God is good and we thank him for this food. By his hands we all are fed, give us Lord our daily bread.” I can’t tell you how many times I would rush through that prayer just so I could start to eat, never thinking about the meaning of the words. It really does some up some powerful things I hope I believe. First that God is both great and good. He is great, bigger than any situation I face in my life. He is good, all the time, even when it may not seem like it to me (my definition of good is only that which makes life easy for me). Also he is my provider of all the needs of my life. Truth about God expressed in simple terms that a child can remember but that also carry profound understanding that I trust I am willing to live by.
