Don’t rely on old bread for new needs.
Every new challenge requires new solutions.
Exodus 16:14-17, 19-21
Manna: What is it?
Israelites attempted to gather more than they needed, and it rotted.
They learned quickly to only gather what they would eat each day.
God will give you manna when you ask for it. It may be weird, but it is exactly what you need.
You need that “something other”, that thing that doesn’t have a name.
They gathered their manna- their provision- early in the morning
They were allowed to gather double the day before the Sabbath
God wants you to be dependent on him for EVERYTHING daily
We should never be okay with day-old bread.
Bethlehem means fresh bread.
God’s blessings never come in a way that is ordinary or natural. Instead, they are extraordinary and supernatural.
John 6:31-35

“…Give us this day our daily bread…”
