Manna

Manna

The Israelite's in the desert complaining

Grumbling about the change

In lieu of trusting and remaining.

Desiring meat and Egyptian bread

Looking backwards and unappreciative

God giving heavenly manna instead.

Daily to gather the bounty given

No more no less

God’s divine provision.

To collect and store

Strictly prohibited

Daily to gather the only chore.

Not to be hoarded

Nor for merit awarded

Simply the gift for their daily need.

The breaking and taking of bread;

In Jesus the Savior

 The reminder of his brokenness in our stead.

In thankfulness receive

All that has and will be done

More than our grumbling hearts can conceive.

Love letter's written out 

Holy Spirit constant companion

We can daily trust without doubt

And bring praises and applaud,

The Living word

 And routinely feast upon the manna of God,

 ⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. ⁵ On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.” Exodus 16:4-5
