Manna Tasted Like Doughnuts!

But now our appetite is gone; there's nothing to look at but this manna!"
The manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of bdellium.  The people walked around and gathered [it]. They ground [it] on a pair of grinding stones or crushed [it] in a mortar, then boiled [it] in a cooking pot and shaped it into cakes. It tasted like a pastry cooked with the finest oil. When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.

Numbers 11:6-9

When the Israelites left Egypt on their way to the Promised Land God fed them with Manna from Heaven. The Bible even tells us what Manna tasted like. "It tasted like a pastry cooked with the finest oil." There it is! Manna tasted like a Doughnut! I have always known that doughnuts are heavenly. Of course, beyond tasting wonderful, doughnuts have nothing to offer me but extra pounds without real nutrition. Maybe Manna didn't have the sugar glaze of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, but it was food straight out of heaven's kitchen to feed God's people.

Are you starving and desperate for some food that will "stay with you" and strengthen your weakening spirit? Like God fed His people Manna before they entered the Promised Land of Israel, He feeds His people today before we enter the Promised Land of Heaven!

If you are not a follower of Jesus don't forget that God feeds His people Manna from Heaven. One of the daily blessings of following Jesus is that He will give you food for every day. Your strength will come from Him.

Oh, and don't forget that Manna tastes like Doughnuts.
