Manna

I am a list person.

I make lists for everything. To Do lists, Shopping lists, Thinking lists,?Inspirational?verses lists, Books I want to read lists…

Sometimes when I am inspired by something specific during my quiet time, or just during the day, I start worrying that I will forget it. So I write it down for when I need it. It might help me some other day. And then I hope I’ll remember to read it. Because that idea was just so awesome, and I really needed to hear that, and it helped me so much.

But you know, that was my manna for the day.

Sometimes I read it again and don’t feel inspired. It was my manna for last week.

God wants to give me something else today; He knows what it is I need right now.

He doesn’t want me to worry about remembering every single thing that ever inspired me, in case I am ever in need of it. He always has what I need at the moment.
So I don’t need to put it in a ‘save my life’ list.

I do write it in my diary, and it is encouraging to read it and remember, but that’s it. It’s more like a recording of God’s?faithfulness?to supply my needs. But He’s got so much more where it came from.

There is one item on the ‘save-my-life’ list that is of infinite importance. And that is:
Pray without ceasing.

By doing that, I spend every moment beside God, and He will be able to give me what I need at the moment I need it.
I have to?faithfully?show up and keep praying, whether I feel like it or not, and He will be there.
