The children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron. Brought out of the bondage of Egypt, they found themselves traveling through the wilderness hungry and wanting for food. And God provided it in an unconventional way. In fact, when the bread (manna) rained down from heaven, the Israelites asked each other, "What is it?" because they had never seen anything like it before. They didn't recognize the supernatural daily provision only God could supply.
God supplies bread to meet our daily needs, too. He provides nourishment to satisfy and sustain us.
The same God who cares for the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field (Mt. 6:33) cares for us and meets our physical needs. But in addition to meeting our physical needs, He meets our spiritual needs, too.
Jesus described Himself as "the bread of life" (Jn. 6:35) which came down from heaven. Only He satisfies the spiritual hunger and wanting in us. He is an endless, inexhaustible supply of life-giving, life-sustaining bread that we enjoy and experience daily through our communion with Him.
May we always recognize God's supernatural nourishment raining down from heaven into our lives, both physically and spiritually. He supplies all our need according to His riches in glory because of what Jesus did for us (Phil. 4:19). He will give us this day, and every day, our daily bread!
Sock Monkey Snippet: Thank God for providing our daily bread.
