A TIME OF<br />

INTIMACY<br />

BETWEEN YOU<br />

AND THE LORD.<br />

EATING FRESH<br />

When God provided manna for the children of Israel<br />

in the wilderness, Moses <strong>to</strong>ld the people, “Let no one<br />

leave any of it till morning” (Ex. 16:19). When some<br />

of them did not heed Moses’ words <strong>and</strong> kept some<br />

till the next morning, it bred worms <strong>and</strong> stank. This<br />

reminds me of the law that the children of Israel had<br />

<strong>to</strong> observe when they brought the peace offering for<br />

thanksgiving: “The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace<br />

offering for thanksgiving shall be <strong>eat</strong>en the same day<br />

it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until<br />

morning” (Lev. 7:15).<br />

These two verses speak of partaking fresh <strong>and</strong><br />

not leaving the manna or the m<strong>eat</strong> from the sacrifice<br />

<strong>to</strong> turn stale. In the same <strong>way</strong>, whenever we partake<br />

of the holy Communion, let’s ask the Lord for a<br />

fresh revelation of what He did for us at the cross.
