Gathering Manna or Picking Tomatoes

Manna came every day. Free. Even if you weren’t thankful or had doubts.

When the nation of Jacob’s descendants entered the land that Canaan’s descendants had been living in, the manna stopped. The invaders had to start harvesting what Canaanites had planted. Then they had to plant their own crops and raise animals and hunt.

On any given day, Yahweh may be pouring out manna for you and instructing you to rest. On another day, He may make you fight for every small morsel you track down.

He may be making you rest at the same time He makes your neighbor fight. Don’t give them bad advice by telling them to rest.

Ask the Spirit what to do and do it. If your neighbor is struggling, ask the Spirit how to bless them and do it.
