“If You’re Happy And You Know It…”
“The next day, God stopped sending the Israelites manna to eat each morning, and they started eating food grown in the land of Canaan. They ate roasted grain and thin bread made of the barley they had gathered from nearby fields.“
Joshua 5:11-12
The Israelites had just crossed the river Jordan into to Canaan (the land that God had promised them) and He provided for the them the entire time they where out in the desert, by sending manna from sky for them to eat. Now the Israelites were in the Promised Land and they could eat the food that grew there.
God can provide for you too; when you’re in the wilderness.
None of the Israelites that left Egypt, made it into the Promised Land, because they disobeyed God; it was their off-spring that made it in. So those eating the roasted grain and thin bread would never have tasted it before. Imagine how it must have felt for them to eat something other than manna! God will have loved that moment. God is pleased when we find joy in His creation… and our joy makes Him happy!
