Psalm 78:2-25 He rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven. Men ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.
John 6:32-33 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."
As the Israelites were wandering in the desert for 40 years, God filled them, day by day, with manna - a nourishing white substance like a coriander seed which tasted like wafers made with honey. He sustained them.
Approximately 1500 years later, God gave us the greatest Gift of all - Jesus, the Bread of Life. The Savior of the world. The One who sustains us.
Today, 2000 years later, our Heavenly Father faithfully gives us individual portions of just what we need -- day by day. Portions of strength, wisdom, counsel, love, patience, hope, joy, healing...
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your daily manna. Thank You for giving me Jesus, my bread of life. Help me to have a daily dependence -- to pray to You and seek You with all my heart. Thank You that You will give us exactly what we need, day by day, in our intentional walk with You. Praise be to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
