The first picture was staged with white beads (3/16 of an inch in diameter) upon the dew in grass. It gives you an idea of what manna would look like. When the manna would fall it would be very deep similar looking to the second picture.
The first morning that God gave the children of Israel bread, they did not know what it was.
It was something they had never seen before. It was like a coriander seed, which is 3/16 of an inch in diameter. It was the color of white as the color of bdellium.
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines bdellium as "a gum or resin, a precious stone, or a pearl".
When they saw it, they said "What is it?" They called the bread, manna. The Hebrew word, manna, means "What is it?"
It’s pretty shocking when you lose your salaried job. That happened to us last week. It makes you want to go”Oh Manna what is this?” After walking around in a daze believing we had to sell everything in order to survive over the long haul my thoughts turned to manna. Ok, I’m strange but God isn’t and He is who I look to in good times and bad times. When the shock wears off you realize that you are not up against anything but as always in God’s care. Prayer keeps our eyes on the Lord and just like the Israelites we receive manna (food from God) for the decisions to be made each day. Trying to figure it all out might get you stinky worms in your brain or something. Well, that happened to the Israelites who took more manna than they needed.
Remember, everything you need for the circumstance you find yourself in is already present in Me. I am your ever present help in time of trouble Psalm 46:1
Pearl to string: I always figured we were to keep our eyes upon Jesus cuz like Peter if we knew we were walking on water we would drowned.
Don’t let life aweigh you down,
You are loved,
Lyndi
