Daily Bread: Pattern

For the Children of Israel, manna was a daily reminder of the source of their blessings; today, we can remember Jesus Christ every day as we pray, read the scriptures, and meditate. (Part 1 of 3)
(Voice of Elder D. Todd Christofferson) I think it's not by chance God has created us in a way that we have to have daily physical sustenance. The Children of Israel coming out of Egypt lived for forty years, approximately, on something called manna. They couldn't have lived from hunting, and their lifestyle was such that they couldn't be planting, so they really didn't have an alternative. God was in essence providing their daily sustenance. And I think at least one of His purposes was to teach them to remember Him, to think of Him, to look to Him, to have faith in Him, that He was the source of their life. He did in the way of making it a daily thing; they couldn't gather up manna and store it, it would only be good for one day. They couldn't forget who was the source their blessings.
There's a spiritual parallel in our day. We all recognize the need for physical sustenance; hunger and thirst remind us very strongly if we forget. But the spiritual need for sustenance is equally strong, that comes not in drinking water and eating food but in our constant daily efforts of communion with God. We ought not to think that we can go weeks and months without spiritual sustenance and not suffer, and not have a deadening influence in our spiritual life. Acknowledging the reality of our need for a daily spiritual ministration, or manna, helps us increase in our courage to do the right thing, and to serve others, more than we would have if we ignored God. People sometimes think ""Well, those are such small things; prayer, immersing ourselves in the scriptures, pondering, meditating; how can that really produce a significant difference in a person's life?"" But it does. As small as those things seem to be, as daily, routine sometimes they may seem to be, these are the kinds of things that day by day, transform us.

The little things make the BIG difference. Very interesting comparison for the daily need of physical nourishment with our need for daily spiritual food. It's an analogy that I've heard before and seams so simple but this video really reinforced my commitment to feed my soul.
The Leaders of our church still continue to make me feel happy
God gave the Isrealites Manna in the wilderness, but they had to go collect it everyday. We must do the same with our Spiritual Manna. We must go get it every day.
Good point, thanks
Thank you Elder Christofferson for this great message. Thank you for reminding us where we have to turn to daily.
I love this video from start to end.
Yes, a simple truth brought back into bright light. Thank you Elder Christofferson and film team!
I once had a choir rehearsal, and my teacher told everyone if they wanted a break they could go get one. And it was a tough choice, because I knew we had a concert at school coming up. But during the breaks I go and read the scriptures. And so I went on the break, and a couple of days later the choir together sounded amazing, and I kept putting in effort. For both the choir and the lord. If we put god first and go and do the little things it makes the biggest difference. 😉
It's important to remember what Religions DO have in common, rather than quarreling over the differences. We are all brother & sisters created equally.
Yes, while I was in the car, at the vacation I just went to, I spent that time pondering the gospel, singing primary songs in my head, and praying. It has accualy helped me realize alot of things, and helped me be closer to God and Jesus. I love praying, pondering, and singing hymns in my head, and I want to do it every day😁
Such a beautiful video! So lucky that I clicked on the feeling lucky button! Thank you Shaytards!
Thanks You MY LOVINGLY JESUS...AND thanks a lot sir...for making this video....YES this is true...JESUS is the only source of LIFE...I LOVE JESUS.....
Sometimes I am so hungry
But I don't know what I need
Something in me is empty
Perhaps there is more to feed!
I like that.
Powerfully, simple truth.....it is amazing what daily spiritual bread can do for us. It has made a significant difference in my life.
Wow this made me cry! Thanks Shay Carl for sharing this. You are a wonderful
This really touched me today. I needed this. :)
Praise God for my daily bread
i love You God and Jesus! Amen
Thanks for making me cry Shay! Great video.
beautiful testimony of Love..........Thank you.....
Powerful message
Great video, great reminder!
When we are doing good for self or someone,we are correct bread for future. It is better than asking for blessing because we do good things everyday.
Amazing answer, amazing.
This is so powerful !!! I have to share it :) thank you
Love this video
Love this!
Awesome. Love it.
Fasting is a special method to make you feel the need of Spiritual nurishment and of course willingly you have to give up your worldly convenience for a state of holiness at least to feel it for the first time then the needs of a spiritual will flow by its now dependent need!!!! ....
I Love this video
Great video. I really like it.!
Amazing expereience!
Simple. Truth.
Everyone that is going thorught problems it will come to this point to awknovlege the really need of spiritual substance.
Shay Carl sent me. This is great stuff even though I'm not religious.
We need his help, we need his love, with out it, we cannot see ourselves as more than mortal. The manna he gives me is more precocious than all the wealth in the world. I am his daughter of this l am sure and he sometimes carries me through this life when l am not aware. He love us all and we can become his children more fully by living breathing and sharing that love which he freely gives. That is Mann from god. Can you see it
Thanks shay :)
I find it interesting that God provided manna for that length of time. God could have done many things to have provided for there needs. For with God nothing is impossible
My mom is very interested in the Word of Wisdom. I think you need to eat healthfully (lots of fruits and vegetables).
How can you dislike a video like this?
@1:54 when he says “administration” or “manna” it is interesting because the words sound like “adMANNAstration”. Ironically, the word manna means “what is it”, which is the questions we are asking God when reading the scriptures and seeking revelation for our lives.
yay shay!
So true! =)
Shay Carl !
Shay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great question. Yet there is enough food on our planet to sustain the life it contains, including starving children. The question should be: Where are we? Suffering endures in the world so that we will do something about it. Be doing so, God molds us into the kinds of individuals he would have us be: charitable, compassionate, selfless. How are we doing as a human race?
lol
