I still find my corrupt heart longing for tomorrow's bread. I can make a good argument to the Lord about how effective I can be if He would supply me with enough advance funds. It's a little frightening to pray for TODAY's bread. That means I must pray again for tomorrow and believe again for tomorrow. My greedy heart is willing to be corrupted by a little bit of riches so that I see my warehouse full of loaves. I can make a good argument about how God won’t have to be bothered with me every day if He would only advance me about ten years worth of bread. Gayle D. Erwin
About This Quote

This quote does not mean that you should never ask God for anything. God is always willing to hear you out. However, your requests must be based on what you are asking for and not how much you are asking for. You must allow the Lord to make the decision about how much He will give you. If you don't ask, you can't receive.
