Manna
I love the concept of manna; "I will feed you, I will take care of your body, I will provide all you need. But.....you are responsible for picking it up and cooking it."
His Word - our Bible - is our manna today. It indeed provides all we need:
Phillipians 4:19, and my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
It has given us power:
2 Timothy 1:7, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
It tells us when we fall short:
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for re proof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Indeed it contains everything:
2 Peter 1:3-4 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Of course the most basic manna is salvation:
John 3:16 for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
We look everywhere for the next spiritual high, we want to be "fed", we seem to never be satisfied. But we have this banquet of manna before us - a smorgasbord of Truth for every circumstance.
Reach for this manna, the Bible. Serve it to your children. Eat of it every day.......for life.
