Gather Revelations about Jesus Daily!
“This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.” The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less. When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating. Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.” Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them. They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.” (8Exodus 16:16-21 WEB)
Manna is the heavenly bread which God fed the children of Israel with in the wilderness. It is a picture of Jesus who is the true Bread of life that comes down from Heaven.
Notice how whether the people gathered much or little each day, they still had enough.
But they could not keep the manna until the morning because it would rot and breed worms.
This is a lesson for us: we have to gather revelations about Jesus in the Scriptures every day.
It doesn’t have to be a lot, but just do it as best as you can.
Even a verse or passage about Jesus to meditate on will be good.
Many believers are gathering revelations about Jesus only on Sundays when they attend services, and they try to survive on that for the rest of the week until the next Sunday.
They are trying to live on spiritual food that has ‘gone foul and bred worms’!
If you don’t have to be told to eat physical food daily, surely you’ll also know that you need fresh spiritual food daily to feed your soul?
The hunger in the soul feels different from hunger in the stomach. It feels like a weariness—a ‘bleh’ feeling that makes it difficult to trudge through each day.
When bad things happen, that soul starvation tends to manifest obviously in outbursts of anger, freaking out and panic.
“If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.” (Proverbs 24:10 WEB)
All this won’t happen so intensely if you’re consistently gathering revelations about Jesus daily.
Remember, whether it’s little or much, gather anyway—you need the nourishment.
Listen to a sermon, read a devotional, read the Bible, listen to worship songs and praise Him, have prayer time. Whatever is your preferred way of feeding, just do it!
