V.—Manna like salvation, because fresh every day.
It was, “Give us this day our daily bread.” There are some who try to live on past religion, and it is like the manna of verse 20. Is your religion fresh?
VI.—Manna like salvation, best gathered early.
It was in the morning plentiful, but when the sun rose it melted; there would be a little here and there in shady places. If you would have plenteous grace, young reader, seek it now!
The only sort of Religion
worth having is infectious,
you have not got it if you
do not give it to some one
else!
LIII. SMITTEN OF GOD.
We read that when Peter was in the prison the angel smote him on the side, and raised him up. But He smote Herod, and he was
eaten of worms,
and gave up the ghost.
Mark the difference between the blows the Lord strikes His own people and His foes. He smites us, and then lifts us up; He smites his enemies, and then casts them down for ever.
