I try my best to match images with my dad’s blog. Well, manna was miraculous and so is God’s creation that we see all around us. Here are the Hexagon Pools in the Golan Heights, Israel. Sheets of columnar basalt tinted a burnished gray hue hang alongside the Hexagon Pools. It’s the polygonal sections of rock that give the pools their name. The rock formations have developed by shifting subterranean fault lines over a very long time, which accounts for their unusual twisted appearance. – Reynold

Key Verse: Exodus 16:31
And the house of Israel called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
“Manna” means, “What is it?” God proved over and over His faithfulness to His people. Yet the word “murmur” is found eight times in this chapter. Are Christians much different now from the Israelites of 1500 BC? By God’s grace we are declared, “A new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). We need to confess daily that the “old” is dead and, like the Manna from yesterday, it is stinking rotten. Also, every morning if we want fresh bread, confess the new life in Christ now. This blog, the daily TV ministry of 100 Huntley Street, our Bible reading and prayer, will definitely help us. In John 6, Jesus declared that He is the true Bread from Heaven. Partake of Him daily and be healthy and strong. Worship and praise Him without murmuring.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Yes Lord, may I recognize that stale Christianity becomes “wormy,” and is definitely not appetizing to me and to others around me. Thank You for the fresh food which I am eating now. Thank You that my spirit, soul, and body are being nourished as I read and pray. Please give me grace, O Lord, to be consistent. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen!
100 PERSONAL WORDS:
From 1962 to 1977 we produced and released the weekly Crossroads telecast, and along the way began the weekly telecast for children, Circle Square. During 1976, I could not help but notice that the number 100 kept popping up regularly. When I would open my Bible randomly, there was the number 100. I would happen to look at a street number and there was that number. Finally I got the message. It was time to go daily with the ministry and this would assist God’s people to move up to “100-fold living” as in the parable of Jesus about the sower and the harvest (Matthew 13:3-9). That meant that I had to become more consistent in my early morning Bible study and prayer. On June 15th, 1977, the daily TV ministry began. Over 39 years later, 100 Huntley Street is still providing daily manna for 100-fold living.
Yours for consistently gathering fresh manna daily for our well being,
David
Stunning photo Reynold; thank you. Weeping with love for Jesus and knowing as a Child of God, all will be well. Thank you to Jen, who prayed with me at 5 am on the Crossroads Prayer Lines: 1-866-273-4444. Such powerful, Holy Spirit filled, convicting prayer that gave me hope and strength. Ever grateful and may His anointed blessing continue upon you, Jen. Christ Jesus is the true Bread from Heaven. We partake of Him daily to remain healthy and strong in Him. His peace, love and comfort be with each of you saints, this morning. In Jesus’ mighty Name, we pray. Amen.

Dear Lord, thank You! Everything we have is a gift from You…life, food, water, shelter, safety, salvation, familiy, friends, fellowship… Even as we read, we see You heard the cries of Your people and You sent Moses to lead them out of bondage, You gave water and food and miraculous deliverance. Thank You, Lord. You even gave the Sabbath as a gift of rest.
Thank You. Father. Help us today to know and trust and follow You. Thank You that You are the same miracle-working God that You have always been. May Your Word go out freely throughout this world, and use all Your people as the light You made us to be. In Jesus’s great name, amen
