The Bread of Heaven by Michael

Meet Our Needs Today

"Give us today our daily bread." (MATTHEW 6:11) (JOHN 6:35)"Jesus
declared, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go
hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.'"
Scripture Focus: Exodus 16:1-32, John 6:28-38

In our verse today Jesus identifies Himself as "I AM", the Becoming
One, always the same, yet always becoming to His people (you and me)
what they need. In Exodus manna was the bread God rained down each day
for His people to eat during their time in the wilderness. The Lord
instructed the people to collect only as much as they needed each day.
If they collected more and saved it, the next morning it was spoiled
and could not be eaten. But on the sixth day they were told to collect
twice as much as usual, because the seventh day was the Sabbath, the
day of rest. There would be no manna on that day. The morning of the
seventh day they ate fresh, maggot-free manna. And so it continued
throughout their wandering years.

Manna sustained physical life for the Jews in the barren desert. Jesus
came from heaven to provide spiritual life for all who open their
hearts to Him. He provides for our physical, emotional and spiritual
needs. This miracle happens daily, always in exactly the portions we
need.


Insight: As We Read The Bible, We Receive All The Spiritual Food And
Refreshment Our Hearts, Minds And Souls Need For All Our Todays.
