Daily food reminds us of the Lord

Israel complained about their deliverance from Egypt and wished that they were back there. However, the Lord heard them complaining, and He promised to give them bread right out of heaven, with the intention that they would know that He was their God,

Then Moses spoke to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come near before the Lord, for He has heard your complaints.’” Now it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God’” (Exodus 16.9–12).

What do you think of your food? Do you complain about it, or do you let it remind you that there is a God in heaven who provides for you?
