Morning Thought: Scripture is like the ground where the manna of God’s living Word miraculously materializes for the hungry believer. Through the Bible the hungry are fed and the self-satisfied are left empty-handed. Like the Israelites in the wilderness, we should arise early, seek out, and bend low to gather and feast on the sweet, yet savory bread from heaven. “Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day…Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away. The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.” (Exodus 16:4, 21, 31 NIV)
