ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
October 10, 2020
Scripture: Exodus 16:15
When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.”
Thought for the Day: Have you ever had someone deliver an unexpected meal? Maybe it was a special occasion or maybe you had not been feeling well. I don’t remember who said it to me, but somewhere along the line someone said, “A meal prepared by loving hands as a gift always tastes a little better.” It is as if you can taste the kindness kneaded and stirred into the dish. Though they grumbled a little too often in the desert, I think the Israelites tasted the key ingredient in the Manna – the generosity of God.
Prayer: Thank you, Loving Lord, for every good gift that finds its way into my life, including the good food that nourishes my body. Amen.
