They gathered it morning by morning, every man as much as he should eat; but when the sun grew hot, it would melt. Exodus 16:21

I’m currently sitting in a cancer center, one I’m all too familiar with, as my husband of 41 years is getting a mask made to wear while he receives pinpoint radiation on cancer spots in his brain. We left home early enough to have a late breakfast in our hometown and then drive to a Christian bookstore near the cancer center. It was there that I purchased a 90-day devotional written by Priscilla Shirer titled Awaken.

After reading through the introduction I found myself comfortably on Day 1, Morning. It started with the above scripture followed by the thoughts of Ms. Shirer. I read them twice and found myself in her words.

As those who know me are aware, I start most days with scripture. I love starting my day in the Word, feeling “off” when I don’t have that time. Priscilla wrote this, and I’m certain it’s a God wink:

Perhaps this ancient illustration depicts for us the reason why our hearts so often stir for a fresh word from God – fresh bread – early in the morning, before the heat of the day has set in.
