Feasting On This Mana. One Day At A Time.

One day at a time....


Because the Israelites ignored God, and listened to their own fear, they were kept in the desert. Trapped there to just survive. And God provided for them, every day. Even though they turned their backs on Him over, and over, and over, for the whole 40 years that they were there. 


Manna..... is a sweet bread of sorts.  It's the food that God dropped from the sky, every day for the Israelites to eat during their time in the dry heat and sand. He faithfully let it(manna) rain from the sky daily. 
Like worry warts though, the Israelites would gather as much manna as they could hold, to keep for the days to come. You see, they worried that God might not give them food for the next days. Such little faith in the One who just rescued them from Egypt....
But over and over again, God shows us just how faithful He is. 


What would it look like if we just ate the manna God gave us today? 
How hard would it be to leave that other manna on the ground, and just know that God will make more fall tomorrow? We don't even need to worry about it.


Ha....worry..... is something I want to live without.  I'm working on it.


Fear....
                  ........... is the opposite of Faith.  
Did you know that my spiritual gift is Faith? Yep, this is truth. So then why do I fear? 


Because I am a sheep. 
Because I sometimes struggle with the knowledge that I am no longer holding the yolk to this plane. 
Because, the enemy knows that fear will wear and tear on my spiritual gift, faith. 

   

These things alone, are needing to be remembered in my life:

God is my Shepherd.

God is my Co-Pilot.

God is so much bigger than my fears.

            God gave me enough manna for today.

That is enough.....                                          

   God is faithful, all the time. He proves it to me daily. Maybe I don't know what tomorrow holds.... but hey :) If I already knew, then where would faith hold its place in my life? 


I know, without a doubt, that We Were Made To Be Fearless. God designed us to be fearless. 


Adam and Eve were fearless for a time.  


                                                               


                     I can feel it in my bones.
                                                              Fearless.
 How can I go on from here? To become fearless starts where? 
                                                        


Well, I can start by raising my eyes to the heavens, and watching manna fall right into today's basket, that is enough...


.......I know that fearless is on my horizon.....

Just watch for that sunrise....
