God rained down manna from heaven to feed the Israelites while in the wilderness. Did you realize He still supplies us with manna?
Loss is an inevitability of life. Mainly because as sure as we take our first breath there is guaranteed to be a last one. When we love others whether blood family, friends or spouses we are going to go through the pain of loss if we live long enough. It doesn't seem fair especially when we lose someone we love tragically or if they had to suffer a long battle with an illness that took them away from us. The thing that can make loss worse for some of us is trying to deal with it in a way that will make other people happy instead of going through the emotional process until we get to a place of healing for ourselves.
As much as we try to keep God's praises in our minds, hearts, spirits and mouths there are times where we fall short. We are human, and it is hard for God's praise to continually be in our mouths. I am not talking about every second of the day because we would get nothing else said. I am referring to not giving praise on a daily basis. It is not that we don't want to give praise, but things in life have weighed down our minds and spirits making it difficult to kindle that fire from which praise is formed in us.
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Exodus 3:14 NASB)
