Today's Message: Daily Bread
Each day we need to ask God for our Daily Bread. Past blessings are enjoyable to remember. But, just as the manna was new each day, so should the blessings and experiences that we have with God be.

God commanded Moses to make two trumpets, whether they worshiped, went to war, or journeyed, every move of the people was to be in obedience to the various sounds of trumpets. "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation." (Numbers 10:1-3). The two silver trumpets represent the truth of God's Word and remind us that both the Old and the New Testaments are each a part of the whole Word of God.

God's people are to be fully dependent upon and subject to the will of God as revealed in His Word. If our hearts are accustomed to hearing the true silver trumpet, His voice through His Word, we will then be in harmony with the Holy Spirit's prompting as to what we should or should not do.

The Israelites were now on their way to the promised land, as they journeyed toward the land of Canaan, all they had to do was trust God and move forward in conquest of the land filled with milk and honey. However, once again they began complaining because all they were given to eat was manna. "And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil." (Numbers 11:1-8). The remarkable thing about the manna was that this miraculous food had to be gathered daily (except on the Sabbath), for it could not be preserved from one day to the next. And there was a sufficient amount each day for the several million men, women, and children to eat and remain healthy.

The manna was symbolic of Christ Jesus, the true Bread from Heaven. "Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." (John 6:31-35). We must read the Bible daily if we are to receive spiritual insight and strength for the day. Past blessings in reading the Word are not sufficient to satisfy today's spiritual needs. Each day we are drained spiritually, often when we feel the need to feed our bodies, but in reality it's our spirits that we need to feed.

Today's Psalm: 101:14-15
"He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart."

Today's Prayer:

Dear Jesus,
It is in my hour of need that I see Your powerful provision in my life.When I'm in need of comfort, You are my Comforter. When I'm in need of courage You go before me. When I'm in need of friendship You are my friend that sticks closer than a brother.When I'm in need of stability You are the Anchor for my soul.When I'm in need of finances You own the cattle on a thousand hills.When I'm in need of peace You are the peacemaker. When I'm in need of food You are the Bread of Life. When I'm thirsty You are the living water that leads to eternal life.You are my Shepherd and I shall never be in want of anything.Thank You for meeting every need I have.In Your mighty name, Jesus...............Amen.

Have a wonderful day/night and enjoy the rest of your week.
God Bless,
Christina
