The wilderness manna was the perfect kind of lesson. Every day it gave the same instruction, which the Israelites were (and we are) supposed to learn permanently. We were made for two kinds of food. Neglect either one and we are in serious trouble. Our bodies need daily, healthy physical nourishment, while our souls require the spiritual menu provided in the Word of God. Manna came as a tasty morsel that filled their stomachs; faith grew in their souls as they realized Jehovah's promise was unwavering and complete.

(Deuteronomy 8:3, And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.)
