BREAD FROM HEAVEN – IN THIS WAY I WILL TEST THEM / EXODUS 16:4

(KJV) Exodus 16:4

Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

This “bread from heaven” is called “manna” (Exodus 16:15). It was heavenly food miraculously sent among the people each day for the full forty years that they wandered through the wilderness. God sent the manna each morning. The people simply had to collect what they needed. The white substance looked like thin flakes of frost, and it tasted like honey (Exodus 16:14, 31; Numbers 11:9). The supply of manna stopped coming when the Israelites entered the promised land. At that point, other foods became available (Joshua 5:12). Manna was a prophetic symbol of Jesus Christ, “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32; Revelation 2:17), who gives eternal life (John 6:33, 51, 58).

The people received specific instructions about the manna. This was God’s test of their faith and obedience (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). In the same way, God sometimes directs our circumstances in ways that test our faith and loyalty to Him.
