Joshua 5:10-13  While the Israelites camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they observed the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month. The day after Passover they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land. And the day after they ate from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. Since there was no more manna for the Israelites, they ate from the crops of the land of Canaan that year. (CSB)

Where God guides, God provides. What and how he provides changes according to our life situations and where we are in our life missions. 

Manna like dew and water from flint rock had been the norm for forty years of wilderness wandering. Now, the people would have a land with flowing streams and abundant crops. To acknowledge who was their Provider, they were to present the first fruits of these resources as an offering of gratitude and worship. 

For forty years in the wilderness, God taught his people to hunger and thirst for him. Now, in the land flowing with milk and honey, he wanted them to continue hungering and thirsting for him while acknowledging how every good and perfect gift had come from his hand. 

Passover reminded them of what had been. They were slaves in Egypt. Firstfruits, or harvest, reminded them of how God provides all they need. What is our logical response? Praise and thanksgiving are the settled disposition of those who know where the journey began, where they now stand, and where they are bound by God’s direction and provision. 

This leads us to trust God from the bottom of our hearts. We belong to him. We are the children he delights in. He is completely trustworthy now and forever. 

Today,
Hunger for more of God.
Expect God to speak to your heart and to lead your steps.
Acknowledge him for who he is and what he does.
Respond to his loving guidance with obedience.
Trust him from the bottom of your heart. 

  • Where are you in your life journey? 
  • What are your best next steps?
  • What do you need to fulfill your life mission?
  • How will you receive God’s gifts with thanksgiving and praise?

(Hat Tip to Becky Biser for the HEART acrostic.)

I will hunger and thirst for more of God.

Our Father, you are the Giver of All Good Things. You provide what we need as you guide and lead. Thank you. I will praise you every day. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 92:12-15

Psalm 92:12-15
The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the LORD,
they thrive in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
to declare, “The LORD is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Daily D – Matthew 22:15-17

Matthew 22:15-17 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap him by what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You don’t care what anyone thinks nor do you show partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Daily D – Psalm 90:12

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.

Daily D – Matthew 17:1-9

Matthew 17:1-9 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.
Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Daily D – Matthew 15:34

Matthew 15:34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them. “Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”
