Feed the Need - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year : Psalms 107-109, 1 Corinthians 4

No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
Acts 4:32

Today's Scripture & Insight : Acts 4:32-37

Lisa and Freddie McMillan own a unique restaurant. They offer a full hot meal to all who stand in line—at no charge. This couple has invested from their own savings to make a difference for senior citizens who often go without meals and rarely enjoy a restaurant experience. A donation box receives contributions. Lisa says, “Sometimes we find nothing there. Sometimes a thank-you note. Sometimes £1,000. Always, we have everything we need. Our goal is to feed the need, restore dignity and develop community.”

Caring for the needy can seem a daunting task—unless we depend on God! The Gospels include records of Jesus feeding thousands by inviting His disciples to participate: “You give them something to eat” (Matthew 14:16). In the book of Acts, we learn that in the early church, believers “shared everything they had” and “there were no needy persons among them” (4:32, 34). Many of them sold property and gave the proceeds to the apostles, who “distributed to anyone who had need” (vv. 34-35). Understanding that their possessions ultimately belonged to God, they voluntarily invested in the lives of others from what they owned.

God provides. Sometimes by His own hand and sometimes through the hands of His people. He feeds our need so that we can feed the need of others.
