7Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin. 8The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil. 9When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
Beside this manna!
Why is it when we continually eat the same thing we grow tired of it?
“I will rain bread from heaven for you,” and He kept His Word.
“There was “nothing to pay”—no manna-tax was ever exacted of the Israelite’s hand.
According to the Apocrypha, which is not to be received as Scripture, but still is often valuable in some respects, each man tasted the manna according to his own liking.
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
Here they pour contempt upon the bread of angels, upon the food of heaven, upon the benison of God. Oh, what will men not complain of?” (C H Spurgeon)
What blessing has the Lord given you that you say, “besides this blessing” before your eyes that you grow tired of and complain of?
Is it your wife, husband, children, home, possessions.....?
Blessings
