The manna
would appear every morning on the dew for the next 40 years.
There would not be any manna
on the 7th day, the Sabbath.
They would have to gather the
manna each morning from daylight until about noon.
When the sun got hot the manna
would melt.
Each person was to gather an
omer (3 quarts) per person.
If they tried to gather enough
manna for two or more days, the manna would breed worms and stink, except on
the 6th day when they could gather enough for the 6th and 7th day.
They would grind the manna in
mills, or beat it in a mortar, and bake it in pans, and make cakes of it.
The manna would taste like
wafers made with honey or like fresh oil. Manna was the corn of heaven, it was
angels' food.
To be able to eat manna, they
would have to depend upon God every day.
They would have to depend upon
God to provide the proper weather every morning for the dew to appear with the
manna.
They would have to work
(gather the manna) every day for six days.
If they did not gather any
manna, they would not eat, even though God provided the manna for them.
Jesus taught us to pray for
our daily bread, not our monthly or yearly bread.
Each day at night all the
bread (manna) would be gone and they would have to trust God to provide manna
the next day. It was one day at a time.
You need to depend upon God
every day.
Read your Bible every day,
have faith day by day, pray every day, walk with Jesus one day at a time.

say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth
you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give
us this bread. 35 And
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never
hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.)

Note: I took the following
picture, which I staged with white beads (3/16 of an inch in diameter) upon the
dew in grass. This picture gives you an idea of what manna would look like. When the manna would fall it would be very deep as in this picture. Copyright (c) 2013 by Jerry L. Wells
