Bread from Heaven

But the Lord is faithful and continues to amaze me...

I've been thinking about manna lately.  God can do ANYTHING.  In Exodus 16 you can read about it.  He provides this bread from Heaven for the children of Israel, coming down like frost.  They just had to pick it up--free!  And there was always just enough.  If you took too much, it was just right.  If you took too little, it was just right.  The thing that really amazed me was how it went away.  It either:
1. melted
2. got stinky and wormy (if you took too much and tried to save it a day)
3. stayed fine overnight for the Sabbath (one day a week they could gather double, and it didn't get stinky or wormy)
4. lasted 40 years + in the jar that Aaron was supposed to save to remind them of what God had done.

What a miracle!  The same substance, and God does whatever He wants with it.  Bread from Heaven.

Then think ahead to Jesus--who also made bread from Heaven.  He took a few loaves in John 6 and tells the Jews:
I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh” (John 6:48-51).  Jesus is the ultimate bread that fills forever!
