Only This Manna
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. Numbers 11:6
Israel had been on her journey through the desert for over two years. Because of her murmuring in the wilderness, God had faithfully sent Israel bread from heaven each morning, except on the Sabbath. There was always enough, and the manna was nutritionally complete.
But then God’s people fell into lust. They remembered the fish they had back in Egypt, as well as the melons, leeks, onions, and garlic. Now they had nothing at all but this manna.
The Christian church has traveled through the wilderness of this world for many years now. Since her miraculous birth at Pentecost, God has faithfully supplied her every need and fully equipped her with the armor of God. Through His Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, He has supplied clear directions to the promised land.
But God’s people still fall to lusting after the pleasures and fashions of this world and become dissatisfied with the heavenly manna He provides.
The Christian pilgrim, too, begins his pilgrimage with the ardent joy of seeing “old Pharaoh” drowned, his host overthrown, and Egypt left behind. Feasting on a boundless supply of manna, he feels as though he has already had a taste of heaven! But all too soon, the heat of the desert sun, the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things unite to dry away our souls. We are no longer content with this manna alone. But as we raise the eye of faith to the things not seen and give God the throne room of our hearts, we find that nothing in this world satisfies, and nothing is more fulfilling than the sweet manna that God still provides today!

God’s manna in the soul renders the pleasures of this world tasteless.
