The Israelites were to gather the manna every man according to his eating. (Exo. 16:1616This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. (Exodus 16:16).) The appetite governed the amount collected. How strikingly true this is of the believer! We all have as much of Christ as we desire—no more, and no less. If our desires are large, if we open our mouth wide, He will fill it.... On the other hand, if we are but feebly conscious of our need, a little only of Christ will be supplied.
