The Meaning of Manna
Imagine: Rush hour
on the way to a local mount.
Jesus knew a thing or two about
the stress of daily life.
The desperate crowds
clinging to the hem of his robe
made it plain:
wants pressing in
on every side
misery multiplied
by loneliness, poverty,
food all but forgotten
in the hunger for healing.
How often are we
crushed by need?
Yet, Christ gave us
the secret to survive
and to thrive:
we must slow long enough
to feed on the Holy.
Oh, the body has use for
baskets of bread and fish
but what about
the manna of Godâs word?
We must pause to bathe
in the soothing waters
of his spirit
leave the weight of worry
behind
so that we can meet
the requirements
of the next moment
and the next
and the nextâ
Refreshed.
Refined.
Renewed.
Mark 6:30â56
