daily manna

Deuteronomy 8:2-5 2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

Isn't it interesting how God gave his people manna daily? Not weekly or monthly but daily. It was always just enough to last throughout the day and the following day he would bless his people with just the right amount for that day. I personally believe he did this because he wanted his people to be dependent on him.

With recent events that have occurred, I realized that I am not dependent on God. I'm so comfortable with everything that I have that when a problem arose I didn't know how to depend on him. Instead of trusting that he had everything under control, I started making plans B and C. In the end, he provided with just enough of what I needed- my daily manna. I need to be more dependent on him.

p.s. I had a blast learning how to snowboard + spending time with people this past week. Super grateful for great company, yummy food, free housing and spending less than $50 for 3 days.
