Who is Jesus #15 (Bread cont.)

"When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor," (Exodus 16:14). In order to see the provision of the Lord, the Israelites would have to wait for the dew to clear. Then, and only then, could they clearly see what God had provided for them and take advantage of the blessing.
To see our bread from heaven, Jesus, we have to let things clear, also. We have to get rid of our preconceptions or misconceptions of who He is. We may have to ignore what other people say about Him. It may be like the blind man that Jesus healed who at first could only see "something that looked like trees walking around (Mark 8:24)" when he saw people, but ultimately Jesus made him to where he could see clearly.
There is so much that "fogs" and "clouds" the picture. We don't get the clearest view of Jesus that we can because of so much interference.
Let's focus in on the bread of life - see Him for who he clearly is - and then take advantage of the blessing.

Be Strong and Courageous,

L.T.
