Susan LaffertyOn Sabbath, the people are eating food from heaven. Manna. Gathered the day before.
Every other day of the week, they’re out getting just enough for their daily needs. But the day before Sabbath they gather double the amount.
Necessary preparation. Before a holy day. His.
“My Sabbath,” God says repeatedly in Scripture.
Day of rest.
Learning Sabbath.
Before
Ten Commandments arrive
engraved in stone,
the Most High God
starts teaching His people
an expectation.
And provision.
Sabbath.
For 40 years
of wilderness training,
He clarifies
this ongoing need
for true rest.
In Him.
With a little thing
called manna.
The crowds follow the fragrance. Looking for bread. Multiplying in His hands.
Fresh bread from the Master draws them. Like hot loaves from the oven.
But then. He speaks. Hard words. Strange to their ears. Threatening their loyalties.
