Manna from Heaven

James (5:16)

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I've been thinking about the Israelites who wondered the desert for 40 years.  During a dark and sparse time they went before the Lord and prayed for food.  The Lord responded by feeding His people with manna. 

I have wondered what it must have been like to be facing starvation and yet have faith enough to have the Lord send manna.  It's difficult to pray and have faith your prayers will be answered when everything inside you knows it would take a miracle to change ones situation.  Yet the Israelites knew they would be saved from certain death.

When faith and prayer are mixed together much can be accomplished.  I have a testimony in the power of prayer and faith.  The Lord will watch over those who faithfully request help in all their doings.
