DESCRIPTION

John Follette emphasizes the importance of trusting God to provide us
with what is truly beneficial for us, even if it may not be what we
desire. He encourages surrendering our preferences and allowing God to
determine our portion in life, acknowledging that He knows best. Just
like the children of Israel gathered Manna in the wilderness according
to their capacity, we are reminded to seek what God has provided for us
each day to satisfy our needs, no matter how big or small. It is crucial
to cultivate an appetite for God's provision and trust that He will
always give us what is best for us, even if it may not be what we
expect.

"... Lord, feed me with food convenient for me." (Prov: 30:8b) People
are choicy, they want the things they want. They may not need a thrill;
they may need a pill! A child can't diagnose his need; the wise parent
has to feed him. "... Lord feed me with food convenient, (or even
better) food which is my allotment, or my portion." When we pray that,
we take our hands off the table, and put them under it! (I am very
polite; my hands are under the table!) Sometimes He gives us a portion
we don't like, but it will do us good. Cultivate your appetite.

The children of Israel, in the wilderness, "gathered Manna, every man
according to his eating" -- his capacity. (Ex. 16:18) How much have you
gathered this day; enough to slake your hunger? There is enough for the
thimble capacity, and the dishpan capacity. It is readily available;
close at hand; at your tent door. Some of you are looking for Manna
without a night.

It comes to my "dust" (my humanity).
