Manna From Heaven

Jesus needed to receive all things from the Faher, so He slipped off alone each morning to hear the words His Father gave Him for the day.

We, too, need on a daily basis to cry out "Abba!"   "Daddy,"  "Father!" to the only One who can save us from death.  We need manna from heaven daily to keep us from dying of starvation.  Our spirits are hungry for God, but we keep starving them because we have no food to give them---but the Bread of Heaven is available to us each day if we will only receive it.

Praying once a week is not any more sufficient for our souls than eating once a week would be to our bodies.  We need strength for the journey; we need light for our eyes and bread for our souls---the bread we eat spiritually is the word that comes from heaven to nourish and sustain us.  How can we travel without it?
