In what’s often referred to as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ (or ‘The Disciples’ Prayer’) Jesus taught His disciples to pray: “Give us this day our daily bread” (Mt. 6:11). It’s something that we should pray regularly as well; but, from what I gather, most do not. And yet, in our refrigerators and on our kitchen tables, there it is – daily bread. The simple recitation of that reality ought to help spur appreciation for what we might otherwise take for granted. In a similar vein, I think the opening verses of Jeremiah 14 should help us appreciate ‘daily water.’
