In other words, we’re being shown to not only pray to be nourished this day but for that nourishment to carry us into the days ahead! …to provide ‘for our daily bread’… επιουσηι - epiousēi…means “for the coming day.” A prayer for our needs of the coming days, nourished by meeting the needs of today… Refer II It was translated into Koine Greek, the trade language of the day, for a wider understanding & distribution, On one hand it’s teaching us to pray for our needs for that day, all our needs, physically, emotionally & spiritually.Īnd on the other hand as we shall discover, there’s an integral part of this verse revealed in the original Aramaic word Jesus used for daily, it is only used three other places in the transcripts of the ancient Hebrews & only here in the New Testament, it encompasses a future physical & spiritual context. Let’s dig a little deeper into this verse & all will be revealed.Īs with many places in scripture this verse has a twofold meaning. Jesus was teaching his disciples & us that we need to pray for our daily spiritual bread as well as our physical needs. As the older English translation from the Greek reads, The verse, ‘Provide for us today our daily needs’, doesn’t just mean food, water & shelter. We were all created for relationship not only with others but for one relationship in particular, more shared here Ladies & Gentlemen!ĭuring this month we have been doing an exegetical dig into prayer, in particular the Lord’s prayer, let’s examine the entire prayer for a moment in modern language,Īnd forgive us our transgressions as we forgive others, This really highlighted the precious value of close relationships, as many of us have been reminded in the isolation from our loved ones during the pandemic with its social lock downs, restrictions & border closures. Where in previous seasons with just individual contestants, the long isolation from loved ones had caused many seasoned wilderness participants to tap out!
#ALONE DROPPED INTO THE WILDERNESS SERIES#
What really stood out in this particular series of Alone is that all the individuals faired much better emotionally, teamed up with a loved one.
Reflecting upon the following Are we absorbing enough daily spiritual nutrients to sustain our spiritual wellbeing? This gave me food for thought regarding our spiritual walk my friend. While some had the strategy of bulking their body weight up in the months before this wilderness experience & others had faith in their wilderness skills, knowledge & abilities to find enough food to sustain them.Īll without exception begin to feel the effects in the lack of daily nutrients that their bodies need to sustain good health. What I’ve noticed in all the seasons hubby & I have watched in the Alone series, is that all the contestants though very experienced in wilderness survival, find it increasingly difficult to find a sustainable food source as the extreme weather approaches.
It took the trekkers between 8-10 days to reach the coast & find their team mates! For all the trekkers were getting physically depleted & soaked through from the persistent rain & rough terrain.
The team members who were dropped off in the middle of the island had to trek long daily distances through virgin wilderness, including having to find their own water, food & set up a camp each night along the way.Īll of the trekkers were hoping their team mate on the coast had prepared a dry & sustainable base camp for them when they arrived. The teams included a married couple, two father & son teams, & four brother duos.Įach team member who was dropped off at the base site went about preparing a comfortable wilderness base camp for themselves & their team mate whom they hoped would eventually arrive. With only a compass & heading to find their team mate on the coast! With one team member being dropped off at the coastal base site & the other dropped off 10 miles into the interior of the island. However, there was a twist to this series that the contestants didn’t see coming each team was to be split up!
#ALONE DROPPED INTO THE WILDERNESS TV#
We are journeying through the wilderness of Vancouver Island, Canada with the TV program Alone.įocusing on one particular season where there were seven teams of two, dropped off in the wilderness, instead of ten individuals as in previous seasons. I have refreshed our supplies, we have a thermos for our all important cuppa with a nutritious trail mix for a little sustenance along the way. Welcome! We are continuing our adventure through the wilderness this week after enjoying Alone in the Wilderness a little while ago.
