It is a specific kind of bread that we are to avoid consuming. No, it’s not white bread, or wheat bread, or sourdough that we are to avoid. Psalm 127 is clear that there is no benefit to eating “the bread of anxious toil.”

Instead of feeding on anxious thoughts, we are invited to feast on the true Bread of Life—Jesus, who alone satisfies our hunger for peace and security.

Jesus has forgiven our sins, filled us with his Spirit, and desires to use us to extend his kingdom until he comes to renew all things.
