EXODUS 16:4. “Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.”
BREAD FROM HEAVEN. It really seemed such a simple thing – just get up at the same time each day, Gather right from the ground, good food for your needs, there really is nothing to pay. This heavenly bread will come down each night and will be there all the way, It was given by God to meet their needs and see if they meant what they say.
It came from heaven, so we can safely assume there was full and sufficient supply. During the night when people lay in their beds, God sent them food from the sky. The only qualifications they had to meet was to gather before the sun was high, And gather just enough for themselves and their own, there was nothing for them to buy.
The bread from God now is not on the ground, but He came down from heaven above. The Lord Jesus Christ is our manna from God; He was given as proof of God’s love. Whether we eat daily this bread from heaven, is one of God’s ways to prove; If our desire is really to walk in His ways or complacently keep what we have.
The problem is now, the same as back then; bread from heaven has to be daily obtained – By getting up early, and gathering this food that by it my soul be sustained. If I try to go back and get yesterday’s bread and find it spoiled – God cannot be blamed. Heaven’s storehouse is full with such bread as I need; God freely gives all I can contain.
In the course of each day this bread will give strength to overcome any challenge I meet. The need of my soul will be fully met by this, and give right words to each person I greet. May I never presume I’ll get enough today that I won’t need tomorrow to eat – So, I schedule my morning, this time will I gather, and tomorrow this practice repeat.
“Father God, I have tasted of the good things of God and I am satisfied this is good food that has the taste of honey. I could ask for no better source to meet the continuing needs of my soul than the bread from heaven. The whole world is in turmoil right now because they have gathered so much in the money baskets that it has spoiled. My food is as tasty today as has ever been. I thank Thee for bread from heaven. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
