In the morning you will be filled

We're back from Ethiopia as of Tuesday night! I woke up wide awake at 2am the next day, went to teacher orientation, unpacked, went grocery shopping, cooked, and found my pillow at midnight after vomiting from taking my malaria medicine. It was the longest day in history it seemed. BUT I am very excited to see Nate's parents and sister and baby Katie today! Praise the Lord for a sufficient amount of grace and strength that’s set aside each day for us! I'm thankful to experience it in this way.

I was reading Exodus 16 of how the Lord was going to remind the Israelites of His deliverance from Egypt by providing quail and manna.

“In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord” (v.7)
“In the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God” (v.12).

The manna demonstrated DAILY reliance on God because the Israelites could only gather enough for each day. God is all-sufficient in perfect proportion to our need. In the morning, you will be filled with bread. Praise Him for being the Bread of Life! May our weaknesses and inadequacies show us the glory of the Lord and teach us to know more fully that He alone is the Lord our God.
