He humbles you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that people do not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:3
Manna was a new food created for the sole purpose of satisfying the newly freed Hebrew’s palette and nourishment needs. That’s amazing and awesome!
It was not God’s plan that His people stay in one place long enough to cultivate fields for food, nor were they to spend their time hunting and gathering. They were on their final journey to the Promised Land. God’s plan was to love and restore a faithful people by providing all their needs.
God has NOT retired from the manna business. With humble heart, look to Him to supply all your needs and with the greatest glories of the universe He will design a fulfilling, sustaining and unending manna, new and specific to you. Growing strong and faithful in the wilderness leads to the rest of the Promised Land.
Feasting,
