Exodus 16

Exodus 16:34-35 NKJV

As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. [35] And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

There is a lot to be said about the happenings in this chapter and chief among them is what Israel called Manna. I’ve heard it said that it was almost in a derogatory manner that Israel asked “what is it?” 

We read in Psalm 78:25 that it was  “angels’ food. This supernatural aspect  is lost or taken for granted because maybe familiarity breeds contempt.

The reason I think of things this way is because we stand in the same dangerous ground as Christians when we say things like “been there, done that” to miracles.

Maybe I am a little too naive in that I never take God for granted in any way. I really don’t see a difference between healing of a headache, to turning water into medicine and even raising the dead. Those who know me will attest to these miracles, but that is exactly what they are, miracles done by a living God who loves you and me. To Him be the glory, forever and ever.
