Manna

 

Manna…

I love to try new foods…some of my family just returned from Thailand and reported that the foods were amazing…others were having a Honduran foods night, we rarely have just a meat and potato night as some call it…new recipes are tried regularly…

So reading Exodus 16 that the people ate manna for forty years seems hard to imagine…and even the Israelites complained because they, even as slaves talked about having other foods, leeks, meat pots, etc.

But, the lessons to learn was the provision of God in the wilderness…they didn’t have gardens in those 40 years, but God provided…quail, manna…He was their provision and he was taking them to a land which he had chosen, promised …which would be filled with milk and honey…

God cared for them , just as he still cares for us…

 The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan. (An omer is the tenth part of an ephah.)

Exod.16.35-36

We have the same lessons today…He promises…

 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. 

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 

For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matt.6.25,Matt.6.31-3

He is still our provider, our provision…when we seek him first…

Thank YOU….

Jehovah jireh….
