The eyes of all look to You,
and You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand;
You satisfy the desire of every living thing.
(Psalm 145:15-16)

"The Eyes of All Look to You"

Everyone and everything looks to God for everything we need. As this petition shows us, "God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers, even to all evil people, but we pray in this petition that God would lead us to realize this and to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving" (SC III, 5a). God opens His hand and gives blessings to everyone.

Christians acknowledge by faith that everything comes from God. Everything comes from the Father as its primary source. It can be the crops in the field, the feed for the animals, the cuts of meat at the store or the wonderful electronic gadgets that make life easier. All these things come from God and we owe Him the thanks for each and every one of them. Amen.
