Daily Bread
A Daily Devotional book by Michael E. Hipes
Why this devotional book?
In Lamentations 3, the Bible speaks of God’s loving-kindness that never ceases and His compassion that never fails.
Verse 22—24 says “The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end, for his compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I wait for Him.’” (New International Version)
Psalm 119 tells us “I have hidden Your word in my heart” and “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”..
Joshua tells us to meditate on the word of God, day and night, “then you will be prosperous and successful.” Joshua 1:8
The apostle Peter encourages us in I Peter 2:2 saying, “like new born babes, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”
What better way to start every morning, new or end every evening in meditation, than with a daily portion of the Lord; having a manna moment! Enjoy and drink in God’s word with the vigor of a thirsty newborn babe and you will grow in respect and appreciation of the salvation that comes from our God above!
“Accept the word planted in you, which can save you” James 1:21
What are “Spiritual Manna Moments”?
In Exodus 16, the Israelites saw the “thin flakes like frost on the ground” that had been provided by God while they were wandering in the wilderness.
The Israelites asked “What is it?” and Moses said to them “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.” (New International Version)
Israel named it manna...it’s taste was like “wafers made with honey”
In John 6, when the Jews were speaking to Jesus and asking for a sign so they could believe, they referred to the physical manna that God provided in the wilderness.
Jesus responded by comparing the physical manna that came from heaven to ‘spiritual manna’.
The Father “gives you the true bread from heaven” and Jesus says “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never go hungry...”
‘Spiritual manna moments’ are not only there so you can be filled with God’s word, but so you can be spiritually satisfied by the Bread of Life, Jesus!
