Manna From Heaven?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you gave the descendants of Abraham quail and bread from heaven in abundance. In Jesus’ name, amen.
After the exodus from Egypt, the people wandering in the desert grumbled.
Exodus 16:12 (ESV) tells us what happened when God said, “‘I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
Psalm 105:39-45 (ESV) recounts the miracles that transpired when the people wandered in the wilderness including those mentioned in Exodus 16.
“He spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
They asked, and he brought quail,
and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed through the desert like a river.
For he remembered his holy promise,
and Abraham, his servant.
So he brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
And he gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
that they might keep his statutes
and observe his laws.
Praise the Lord!”
God is in the miracle business. We do not have manna from heaven today, but God provides for our basic needs, including food, and more. Praise the Lord!
