We are told that ancient Israel (in the wilderness those many years) was fed of God … every morning! (Call a “table in the wilderness” in Psalm 78:19.)
Via a miraculous substance called “manna.”
Jesus called it “Bread,” John 6:31 which agrees with Psalm 105:40.
God sent it every day except the Sabbath, but He gave them a double portion the previous day! No lack at all …
My verse today … “And they gathered it (that tasty manna) every morning.” Exodus 16:21
Food … in the morning!
Did your Mom ever tell you that breakfast was the most important meal of the day?
Mine did!
But I am not trying to be an advocate for healthy eating (though such a habit would be a good idea) … but rather, for eating spiritually each morning!
I guess this Exodus verse grabbed my attention due to the fact that I have written at least six Bible Study Lessons a week (in the mornings) … since 2003, I believe it is.
In fact, even now as I type here at my laptop it’s still dark outside. “Early in the morning,” actually.
And as I regularly share Bible truth with you dear reader … I am “eating” it (Scripture) myself as well.
Point being … get you some spiritual manna each morning as you arise (or shortly thereafter). It will give you strength for the day. God’s Word always does that, like milk or meat or bread or honey! (The Bible comparing itself to all these nourishments in fact!)
Jesus did this! Mark 1:35 … And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, Jesus went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
And Abraham! Genesis 19:27 … And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD.
Moses! Exodus 24:4 … And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill.
The great patriarch Job! Job 1:5 … And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings.
That group of godly ladies! Mark 16:2 … And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. (Where they found an empty tomb!
How about you?
Do you somehow, someway meet God in the morning?
He sure does you … Lamentations 3:22-23 … It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy faithfulness.
Amen!
