listen. GOD wants you to ask daily not so HE can hear
you beg but because we have short memories.
GOD wants us to be reminded that HE is the one who supplies our
needs.
in the old testament, when the people of israel were wandering through the wilderness, GOD fed them every single day for forty years with something that the bible calls manna which literally translated means “what is it?” so everyday, they would get up out of bed, walk outside and on the ground they would gather up what is it? to eat every day. every breakfast – manna, every lunch – manna, every dinner – manna.
and they got tired of it but every day – day in, day out like clockwork GOD was faithful to provide. GOD did it that way so that every 24 hours they would have to trust GOD to meet their needs.
what is your manna? what is it that every 24 hours it drives you to say “GOD, i trust YOU. i declare my dependence on YOU.”
look at this… matthew 6.34 (msg), give your entire attention to what GOD is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. GOD will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
when the time comes…
i’m to seek GOD as the one who answers the needs of my life. then we daily declare our dependence upon HIM.
just a thought from the front porch…

How hard to wait for manna when there are so many 'quick fixes' out there. How hard to live in dependence when our world associates dependence with failure and weakness. Good thoughts.
so true, melody. we have to be other world minded and with that we need HIS help.
