Psalm: 16 Meditation: ExIs there always a lesson to learn from an observed miracle? Have you ever seen multiple miracles within a miracle? The Israelites had just begun about a 40 year sojourn in the desert and would survive on the nutrition that manna gave them. God had prescribed how and when the manna could …

Psalm: 103 Meditation: JohnWhat is the true bread of heaven? Here Jesus explains the truest meanings of the miracles of manna and the feeding of the thousands. In those miracles something came from heaven to feed their fleshly bodies.  Jesus came down from heaven to feed their spirit/souls. Manna and the bread in Galilee lasted …

Psalm: 69:1-23 Meditation: MattHow much food does it take to feed five thousand men? How much more food is needed if you add 5-7 thousand more women and children? Now imagine that all that food came out of a lunch box. Like the miracles of manna and quail in the old testament, the people ate …

Psalms: 116, 120 Meditation Wisdom: This is a recounting of the Exodus from Egypt and the troubles visited upon that country, which had, in essence, cursed the Hebrews resulting in the curses being visited upon Egypt. The food God provided His people was, of course, manna. According to the book of Exodus, the people, early …

Psalm: 69 Meditation John: Much of Jesus’ life mirrors the life of Moses such as at the time Moses prays for God to send the Israelites food. That food, from heaven, took the form of “manna” (translated: “what is this stuff?”) Here Jesus is telling these descendants of Moses that He is the bread that …

Psalm: 40 Meditation John: Jesus is still talking about bread. Here, He proclaims that He is “the bread of life that comes down from heaven.” (v. 48) Jesus then makes a contrast between “the bread that comes down from heaven” and the manna in the wilderness. Exodus 16 talks of manna sometimes called “angel’s food.” …

Psalm: 111 Meditation Numbers: This is a account of what will become an unfortunate story. Remember that these spies (there were 12 of them) were in Egypt and saw the judgment of God fall hard upon the Egyptians and later in the devastation of the golden calf but also how the LORD provided the people …

Psalm 113 Meditation: Exodus – The Israelites had a knack for testing Moses’ and God’s patience. God only saved them from slavery, parted the Red and released the waves onto the Egyptian army, lead them across the desert with flame and cloud, created bread from dew while they wandered… It sounds ridiculous that the Israelites …

Psalm: 66 Meditation: John – Bread was an important staple for almost every culture at the time of Jesus. People would survive on bread alone if they were too poor for anything else. Bread is certainly important to Jewish history, such as the need for unleavened bread during the Egyptian plagues and the miraculous manna …

Psalm: 27 Meditation Luke: Jesus feeds 5,000 people with only 5 loaves and 2 fish. A parallel can be made about this event and Moses’ wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. The “manna” the people received was enough for each day – none left over (excess turned bad overnight). This was God making provision …
