Manna for Today

 
Out in the wilderness He provided for them in right measure.
All they needed & it was sweet to taste. Filling. Enough each day.

He said don't take more than what is needed for each day,
if you do (because He knew they would) it will spoil.

I am like those Israelites. Greedy for more than I need.
Wanting more of what looks so good right.now.
But as The Lord provided for them in ways beyond their understanding,
He provides for me.
The patience & the pressing in
to delight in Him as Source & Sustanance.

May the fear & self-preservation that so often drives decisions, affections & lifestyle
not be what I gather up for each day.
Our motivation is to please the Lord as we submit our will to His.
Willingly. With trust.
Why do we trust Him?
Because He loves us.
He
Loves
Us.
This is my manna, this is my daily bread.


But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY. 
1 Peter 2:9-10
