Manna As I teach and preach my flesh is often wanting to keep up with what happened yesterday. The Lord will often speak powerfully in the first of a series of meetings and then I often struggle with the underlying fear that He won't speak in our next session and I will make a fool of myself. The Lord is so faithful to encourage me in this. Basically He says if I am counting on yesterday's manna for today it will be wormy and spoiled. He has new manna for today and it will satisfy. He is the manna and He always satisfies. It is only when I set aside who Jesus was to me yesterday that He can be anything to me today. Yesterday's Jesus is wormy and spoiled and is not what I need today. I need a fresh Jesus. His mercies are new EVERY morning! I praise God for that. I am able to rest in the knowledge that His will is being done and know that He gives the exact thing at the exact time to meet an exact need. It does not matter if it is His will that we walk away believing it was a waste of time, so long as it is His will. It will be what He desires and I must forget about the results; results are His worry, not mine.
