God's Daily Promise Devotional
Read this devotional this morning and thought it deserved a post:
This week's promise: God will help you understand his Word
The Living Word
Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish.
Mark 6:41-43 NLT
Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me, As though didst break the loaves beside the sea; Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord; My spirit pants for Thee, O Living Word!
Mary Artemisia Lathbury
Bread of Life While Break Thou the Bread of Life is often sung during Communion, it is really intended to prepare the heart for Bible study. The great London preacher G. Campbell Morgan customarily read the words of the hymn before his midweek service. The author, Mary Lathbury, was better known as a commerical artist than as a poet. Her illustrations regularly appeared in the popular magazines of the 19th century. She was a devout Christian who often vacationed at Lake Chautauqua, where she became one of the founders of a new movement. Mixing Christian inspiration, culture, and education, the Chautauqua movement spread across the country.…As she sat with her Bible, overlooking Lake Chautauqua, she thought of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee and wrote this hymn. Mary Lathbury's desire was to take Bible students "beyond the sacred page" to meet the living Word.
It makes me want to go and read the word and meet the Living Word!

I subscribe to godsdailypromises@leftbehindprophecy.com, and received "The Living Word" as this mornings devotional (03/22/06). Then I found your blog and diascovered the same devotional on it's front page, but it's dated 8/25/05. Is the devotional from a book, or are the dates wrong??? I'm just curious because of the coincidence. - Richard Waddell, Mount Olive, AL.
Reading about Mary Artemisia Lathbury inspired me. I'm a believer in Christ and have been gifted with creative artistic talents. I have such a deep desire to make an impact and contribute to the world in a meaningful way. I'm interested in learning more about her and this movement she started, it sounds very intriging. If you have more information about her or what the name of this movemnet was I'd be interested to learn more. Thank you for your posting.
