I've been recently challenged when reading through my One Year Bible. The other day I was thinking about how anxious, frustrated, and helpless I can be. I realized that as a Chrisitan I have access to God the Father's provision in the same way Jesus did. God showed me that I did not need to worry about the future - that when each day presents its own troubles, I can call on Him, and He will give me the grace I need for each situation (just as He provided daily manna for the wanderers in Exodus).
If the people of Israel tried to collect more than a day's worth of food (i.e. when they thought they might not get enough), the extra portion of manna would become full of maggots. What a creepy thought! So, I've decided that I want to live by what I'm calling "The Manna Principle." I want to learn to enjoy the privileges of being a child of God through my daily reliance on Him.
