We are commanded to ask God for daily grace of good food to eat. If we must receive what daily sustains us, how could we expect to merit that which eternally saves us? If wages cannot be depended upon to provide daily bread, how can they be trusted in to procure eternal life?
His will be done
His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of love
Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our king!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ!
-- King's Kaleidoscope, All Glory Be to Christ
Jesus is our daily bread. And He is a gift from God to us. We could not deserve Him. We can only receive Him. He sustains us today like He did yesterday and He will again tomorrow until His return and into eternity, world without end, kingdom come, amen.
In the meantime, we work hard not to gain grace but to glorify the One who has already given it.
Titus 3:5-8
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people
