Joshua 9:12 (Amplified Bible)
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we set out to go to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become moldy.
Joshua 9:12 (King James Version)
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
A. The bread of wickedness deceived the Israelites
"This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we set out to go to you;"
Proverbs 4:17 (Amplified Bible)
For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
Proverbs 20:17 (King James Version)
Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
Proverbs 23:6 (Amplified Bible)
Eat not the bread of him who has a hard, grudging, and envious eye, neither desire his dainty foods;
Bread or "lechem" in Hebrew language meaning food, bread or grain, fruit, loaf, meat, victuals. Victuals means "Food for human beings, prepared for eating; that which supports human life; provisions; meat; sustenance. We never apply this word to that on which beasts or birds feed, and we apply it chiefly to food for men when cooked or prepared for the table. We do not now give this name to flesh, corn or flour, in a crude state; but we say, the victuals are well cooked or dressed, and in great abundance. We say, a man eats his victuals with a good relish." [Source: Webster's dictionary]
The bread or food of this world is called bread of wickedness or bread of deceit. It deceives the people that eat them. They thought of themselves as the providers when it's really the LORD that provides. GOD gave them over to a depraved mind that will deceive and get deceived.
Romans 1:28 (Amplified Bible)
And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome,
Daniel 12:10 (Amplified Bible)
Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be tried, smelted, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the teachers and those who are wise shall understand.
2 Timothy 3:13 (Amplified Bible)
But wicked men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and leading astray others and being deceived and led astray themselves.
We attribute and acknowledge GOD as our Liberal Supplier and Provider not our own effort. We do this every time we pray before and after every meal we have with the LORD. Taking every meal as our last or it may continue until rapture.
Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)
And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Acts 14:17 (New King James Version)
Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
ILLUSTRATION:
This is my prayer before every meal:
Matthew 6:11 (Amplified Bible)
Give us this day our daily bread.
1 Corinthians 10:31 (Amplified Bible)
So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God.
This is my prayer after every meal:
Deuteronomy 8:10 (Amplified Bible)
When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.
Joel 2:26 (Amplified Bible)
And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.
Give thanks to GOD in everything even in the food you eat and drink you drink because it all came from Him, without His Providence we will never be able to be satisfied with GODly contentment.
2 Peter 1:3 (Amplified Bible)
For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).
Philippians 4:11 (Amplified Bible)
Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.
1 Timothy 6:8 (Amplified Bible)
But if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content (satisfied).
B. Always dry, always moldy.
"but now behold, it is dry and has become moldy"
Dry means (from its Hebrew language word: "yabesh") "be ashamed, confused and disappointed, withered away" Imagine eating a bread of deceit, eating a bread of wickedness, don't expect you come out satisfied and filled??!! Expect shamefulness, confusion and disappointments after disappointments. Only these bread of deceit and bread of wickedness can give are all of these and you are withered away, instead of being alert, alive, awake and enthusiastic.
Moldy means (from it's Hebrew word: "niqqud") "broken to spots". That's why people of this earth, inhabitants of this world, the unbelievers of this world have always remorse but not GODly repentance.
Perfect example: Judas, the traitor, after he sold JESUS for thirty pieces of silver, the money good enough to buy plenty of food for him, was full of remorse but not repentance.
Matthew 27:3 (Amplified Bible)
When Judas, His betrayer, saw that [Jesus] was condemned, [Judas was afflicted in mind and troubled for his former folly; and] with remorse [with little more than a selfish dread of the consequences] he brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
2 Corinthians 7:10 (Amplified Bible)
For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death].
WORLDLY SORROW VS. GODLY REPENTANCE?
I will go for GODly repentance because it will produce fruit for repentance, a changed life, this is what John, the Baptist have been asking for from the hypocrites Pharisees and Saducees.
Matthew 3:7-8 (Amplified Bible)
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee and escape from the wrath and indignation [of God against disobedience] that is coming?
Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart];
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You directed to me GODly grief that produced repentance within me to change my life, contributing to my salvation and deliverance from evil, it never brought regret to me.
