Bread from yesterday
Joh 6:31 Our fathers did eat mannain the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Deu 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Deu 8:16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Exo 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Exo 16:5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
Exo 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
Exo 16:16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
Exo 16:17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Exo 16:19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Exo 16:20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Exo 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Exo 16:27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
Heaven's bread was the very life sustaining element the children of God were forced to wait upon Him for. This was a purposeful method used of the Father to teach this lesson: we are to wait patiently and expectantly. Each day it seemed that no matter how hard they worked these dear souls had just enough to make it until the next. The very next morning thy had to wake up with that same dependance on the Lord for all their provision.
There where times and season's that they (at the Lord's leading) where told to gather extra provision as the need presented itself. However, those who habitually tried to hoard and save for later they whould find only the stench of rotten manna yesterday's provisions simply not do for those called to walk by faith.
Dear friends, how many times have we tried to live off of yesterday's bread? How many times have we tried to live our lives off of an old experience with God? No matter how glorious that experience, no matter how wonderfully it filled the need of that moment the Father wants us to come continually before Him for fresh bread.
Many of us have had wonderful experiences with our heavenly Father. Sometimes they seem distant, other times we may have stumbled and found ourselves longing for yesterday's experience- yet in fact God is always wanting us to follow HIm unto something new and fresh.
Heavenly Father, teach us by Your Spirit to wait expectantly upon You! Teach us to wait at You feet in joyous anticipation of what You will do next!
