Daily sufficient grace

Mat 6:11
Give us today our DAILY bread.
"And as long as you're seeking my face, You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace", Laura Story - Grace

I watched this song as it was posted by my friend on fb. It has beautiful lyrics, and I am captured by these words. Daily sufficient grace. What can we learn if God only gives us grace sufficient for a day?
1. We learn to depend on God each day.
2. By seeking His face daily, we'll get closer to Him.
To depend on God doesn't mean that we don't do anything, and expect Him to do miracle. To depend on Him doesn't mean that He will make our way easier (We will not be matured if God makes our way easier each time we face trouble). To depend on God means that we do our responsibility the best we can, as an offering to Him. And as we do that, at the end of the day, we'll see that we do more than we capable of. That is how miracle happens.
My second point relates to the prayer Jesus taught. Jesus taught us to ask the bread for this day only. One of the reason why is because He wants us to ask Father daily. By coming to Him daily, we build closer relationship to Him. We seek His face daily. We become more alike with Him. And so, material blessing becomes a way for spiritual blessing. And this is what Father actually wants to give us.
So let's walk together with Him daily, we'll get stronger and stronger each day as we transformed each day to be more alike to Father. Err, and the trials will be much tougher as well.. Hahaha... Enjoy.
