Angel Food Cake In The WIlderness

I have been reading Dr. Brian and Candace Simmons book, "In The Wilderness:  Where Miracles Are Born".  In one chapter they talked about the Israelites wandering in the desert and how God provided daily manna for them.  They never went without food....bread of a sort.  God provided them with the bread for life.

Simmons tells us the manna is described in different ways in scripture.  When the Israelites asked Moses what it was, he told them it was bread from Heaven.  A mystery of sorts as the people asked...."What is it?"  In Nehemiah it is called "God's manna", and in Psalm 105 it is called "Heaven's bread".  In Psalm 78 it is described as "angels food"!  I love the idea of it being angels food.  The food of angels fell from the sky on a daily basis.  Pastor Simmons described it as angel food cake from Heaven!

We, as Christians feed upon the bread of life....Jesus IS the bread of life, provided for us by our Father.  Jesus as our Manna.  We cannot help but see the parallels of the Wilderness story in Exodus and our own wilderness stories.  Our need for Jesus was provided for us.........even or especially in the wilderness. 

We all go through seasons of wilderness, keeping us on our knees before God.  We live, trusting He will provide...........whether we call it "angel food cake" from Heaven or the "Bread of Life".  At times the wilderness looks endless, challenging, and yes, even hopeless, but God is always watching over us.  He provides......love, healing, hope, encouragement and the prayers of others, His Word, and Wisdom.  He provides the Bread of Life, and even angel food when needed.  Sometimes we may question, "What is it" just as the Israelites did, but we learn to step out in faith trusting His provision.  And in doing so, it may turn out to be angel food cake!
