DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 13-14; Ezekiel 14-15; John 5:1-23
There came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat the bread, after that the Lord had given thanks.
John 6:23
The giving of thanks seems, from this verse, just as important, if not more so, as the food itself. This is as it should be. A bowed head and audible expressions of gratitude in a public place are always an excellent testimony to the people of the world, who are, for the most part, ungrateful for the goodness and mercy of God. —Brian Russell
Bounteous source of every good,
Giver of our daily food;
Thou thy mercy dost reveal,
As we prove at every meal.
