No Longer Needed . . .

Joshua 5: 11-12

And on the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate some of the produce of the Land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. And the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the Land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate of the yield of the Land of Canaan during that year.

The manna had continued to be provided even in the Land, until they could actually eat of the Land. Now that they could eat the good things from this bountiful Land, they didn't need the miracle of manna any longer. 

God is making changes in my life right now. When I have come into the new situation in life, I will no longer need some of the things I had before. My hope is that I will not miss these things, or regret that they are gone; but instead rejoice in and enjoy all the good things God will provide for me then. 

I want always to look forward, anticipating all the things God is doing, while enjoying today what He has given me right now. I don't ever want to long for what has passed, because what is coming is so much better. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
