Still Enjoying the GOOD land...and Had My Manna for the Day!

"...He rained down manna for the people to eat, He gave them the grain of heaven." Psalm 78:24 (NIV)

Mmmm, I feel like I've tasted the grain of heaven this morning...and not just my Special K Chocolatey Delight! It was wonderful...and I'm really thankful that I didn't have to gather it off the ground as did the Israelites with the manna...however, how cool would that be to step back in time and physically observe that miracle of daily provision and partake of the "food of the angels"!

Even more than the Special K Chocolatey Delight that I enjoyed for breakfast, I'm talking about savoring the "manna" of His Word. Psalm 90:14 says, "Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." It would not be good for me...or my waistline...to overeat even Special K (a healthy choice...with chocolate!!). However, I can indulge in His Word..."Taste and see that the LORD is good." (Psalm 34:8) for hours, and rather than gaining pounds, grow in peace, knowledge, wisdom, grace, love...and find true satisfaction.

Oh, I want to stay hungry and thirsty for Him! And I want to be obedient and do my part in gathering the manna...daily...that He has laid before me!

Lord, whet my appetite for Your Word! Let me find the satisfaction that only You can give! And Lord, let me live in a way that satisfies You. I love you dearly! Help me to walk...every step of the way...in Your power and love.

I keep thinking of the old hymn by B.B. McKinney (who wrote so many great hymns!)

Satisfied With Jesus

I am satisfied with Jesus, He has done so much for me:

He has suffered to redeem me, He has died to set me free.

He is with me in my trials, Best of friends of all is He;

I can always count on Jesus, Can He always count on me?

I can hear the voice of Jesus, Calling out so pleadingly,

"Go, and win the lost and straying," Is He satisfied with me?

When my work on earth is ended, And I cross the mystic sea,

Oh, that I could hear Him saying, "I am satisfied with thee."

Chorus

I am satisfied, I am satisfied, I am satisfied with Jesus,

But the question comes to me, As I think of Calvary,

Is my Master satisfied with me?
