Occasionally we become so familiar with God\u2019s supernatural blessings that we begin to take them for granted. Health. Friends. Housing. Transportation. Food. Now there\u2019s the one that caught the Israelites. Rather than allow them to go hungry in the wilderness, God supernaturally provided manna for their food. Manna, a word that literally means, \u201cwhat is it?\u201d was sweet \u201cbread from heaven\u201d (Jn. 6:31), called by the Psalmist, \u201cangels\u2019 food\u201d (Ps. 78:25) and in Numbers 11:8, \u201csweet pastry.\u201d Could the eating of sweet angels\u2019 food pastry from heaven ever get routine? It did for the Israelites. In fact it became so routine that they complained to God about it, saying, \u201cthere is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread\u201d (Num. 21:5). \u201cLoathes?\u201d That word means they became so disgusted with God\u2019s supernatural provision that they became nauseated (actually the word is a bit stronger than that, but let\u2019s stick with \u201cnauseated\u201d). I can\u2019t really blame them \u2013 forty years (Ex. 16:35) of the same food, might make me complain also. But that\u2019s what happens when the supernatural becomes natural. Join me this week in thanking God for the supernatural provisions that may have become routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
