“What is it?”

I love how God links things together from the beginning of time. Lamentations 3:22-26  It speaks about His mercies being new every morning and and how He provides it daily for us.  Going back to the Israelites wandering in the wilderness and the Lord providing Manna every morning, daily. They could not gather up more than they needed or keep any for the next day as it would sour, rot.  God promised new Manna each day and gave them just what they needed to survive. Manna means, ‘what is it’?   We need to know, ‘what is it?’  that i need each day from the word of God to walk through today.  I need fresh bread daily to sustain me and fill me.  I cannot live on bread that i received yesterday, it has to be fresh each morning.  “Give us this day our daily bread?”  When i was little living in South Africa, I remember my brother-in-law, Rob, coming home each day with “The Daily News” paper and a fresh hot loaf of bread.  You see, the bread over there did not have any preservatives in it, it went stale each day so we made sure that there was fresh bread baked and bought each day.  We did not enjoy the stale, day old bread as much as the warm, fresh fulfilling slices of bread each morning.  We need fresh Manna each day in our lives, to deal with what we have to face today, new revelation, encouragement and grace.  Make it a habit to spend time in the presence of the Lord daily as He shares what you need.  He is THE bread of life, taste and see that The Lord is good!!
