Bibledoorajar: Where's the Water and Food?

     I have just gotten in from Dallas where over 5,000 of us gathered in the Hilton Annatole to observe children from the 3rd to the 12th grades compete in various areas of Bible knowledge and means of sharing that knowledge. It was an amazing process to see how congregation after congregation met the needs of their kids and those accompanying them. No one hungered for water or food. But then, on the other hand, we were only there for 3 days and the 5,000 were split into many groups with their own supervision caring for them.
    For Moses, caring for multitudes went on day after day. And when they arrived at Marah and there was bitter water, those cries went up. And later, when food was hard to find, the cries and questionings grew even louder. Moses went to the One who had authorized him to lead. Lack of water and thirst are serious, so the Loving God of Heaven revealed a tree that if thrown into the water would sweeten it. And on they marched out of the Wilderness of Sin. But then, no food. Could God provide a banquet in the middle of a wilderness? That was the question put before Moses. Some question, huh? Again a loving God rained down bread from Heaven. It was called Manna. And, it was nourishing food.
     How are you doing on reading about the Bread of Heaven that God provided for you and me. Need to dust that Bible off? Spiritual food is a necessity in this world of sin. Dig in.
