Our Daily Bread Devotional For Saturday 5th April 2025 – A Spiritual Dilemma

OUR DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

Our Daily Bread for today is here.  Give us this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:11).

The word of God is food to the spirit man. “Eat and digest” the word of the Lord for today and let its unchanging power nuture your faith and help in your daily walk to Christ.

The Topic of Our Daily Bread For 5th April 2025 is “A Spiritual Dilemma”

Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 1-3 Luke 8:26-56

Memory Verse: Psalm 145:3

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise.

Today’s Scripture & Insight: Psalm 145:1-8

In Psalm 145, the psalmist David extols the name and character of God, who is “worthy of praise” (v. 3). He praises His mighty acts, glorious splendour, wonderful and awesome works, great deeds, abundant goodness, and righteousness (vv. 4-7). And in verse 8, he lists characteristics of God that are repeated throughout the Old Testament: “The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (see Exodus 34:6; 2 Chronicles 30:9; Nehemiah 9:17; Psalm 86:15; 103:8; 111:4; 112:4; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2).

David concludes, “I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever” (Psalm 145:21 NLT). One day, “every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them” will join in praise “to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb” (Revelation 5:13). We praise Him today as we anticipate what’s to come!

ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY

The average person checks his or her phone 150 times a day. Let that sink in a minute. Our phones have our attention—sometimes for our good, but sometimes not. Tristan Harris has concerns about this. He’s one of the voices in a film that features some of the top names in technology, people who ushered us into the world of social media. But instead of praise, their voices are sounding an alarm, calling our reality (and the film) The Social Dilemma.

“We’re the product. Our attention is the product being sold to advertisers.” We give our attention to what we believe is valuable or worthy. And in a very real sense, what we give our attention to we can find ourselves worshipping.

That word dilemma indicates a situation where a choice has to be made. Believe it or not, we face such a dilemma in our spiritual lives, a choice we have to make daily: Who or what will I give my attention to? In other words, Who or what will I worship? The psalmist clearly made his choice: “Every day I will praise you [God] and extol your name for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:2). The verse that follows gives his rationale: “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom” (v. 3).

The psalmist believed nothing compares to God’s greatness, and so he focused his attention there. God and God alone is worthy of our praise.

By: John Blase

In contrast to time for praying or reading Scripture, what vies for your attention? What would help you keep your desire on God?

God, You alone are worthy of my praise. Nothing compares to You
