It’s the hope and dream of every one on a diet that one day scientists will find a way to transform potato chips into a perfect health food like: broccoli. Food is essential to keep body and soul together. Always has been. From the Garden of Eden to your kitchen table, food has played a crucial role in life. Food is one of the few pleasures in life that offers anticipation, pleasures, variety, and gastronomical delight for minimal effort and cost.
Chefs the world over constantly invent new methods to deliver the same food in a unique and varied method that excites all our human senses and then nourishes us while waiting for another delight to stimulate our palate.
One thing chefs cannot duplicate is that perfect food found in the Bible. It provided all the daily nutritional requirements, was provided fresh daily, and was ultimately satisfying. Best of all it didn’t require aging, marinating, sautéing, slicing, dicing, or any herbs to season to taste! The Bible doesn’t mention food all that much, so when a perfect food comes along, maybe we should pay attention. After all, the perfect food could only come from the Perfect Chef!
In the Exodus from Egypt, God kept the Israelites safe in their travels. The people had a complaint though; they missed the food they ate in Egypt! After complaining to Moses, God provided them a perfect food that both nourished and satisfied! Exodus 16 says it was like bread that fell from heaven! This mysterious food appeared every morning fresh! The people ate this special bread from heaven for “Forty Years”! They didn’t know what it was, so they called it—Manna. The Bible says it tasted like wafers made with honey! Don’t let it ever be said God turned from those in need.
Where God guides—God provides, especially when the chips are down!
