Thou art come out to gather thy daily food as Israel did in the wilderness. Faith had no hoards. Thou wantest Jesus now as much as thou didst yesterday. Well then, look at what is here said of Israel. They went out to gather\u2014what? Why, the morning bread: God\u2019s gift. Such is Jesus, the bread of God, the bread of life. And as Israel would have been satisfied with nothing short of this, so neither be thou. And as Israel was never disappointed, so neither wilt thou, if thou seek it in faith as Israel did. And observe, they that gathered most had nothing over; so he that gathered least had no lack. Yes, my soul! no follower of Jesus can have too much of Jesus: nothing more than he wants \u2014nothing to spare. So the poorest child of God, that hath the least of Jesus, can never want. The very touch of his garment, the very crumb from his table, is his, and is precious. Dearest Lord! give me a large portion, even a Benjamin\u2019s portion. But even a look of thy love is heaven to my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A reading of Anglican priest Robert Hawker’s (1753\u20131827) morning devotional writings from “The Poor Man’s Morning and Evening Portion.” The music for this reading is \u201cCooper’s Hawk\u201d by Chad Crouch and was adapted for length under a Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC 4.0). \u201cHe that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12103,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"audio","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"tve_updated_post":"","tve_custom_css":"","tve_user_custom_css":"","tve_globals":{},"tcb2_ready":1,"tcb_editor_enabled":0,"tve_landing_page":"","_tve_header":"","_tve_footer":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[680],"class_list":["post-12398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-audio","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-poor-mans-morning-portion-podcast","tag-devotional","post_format-post-format-audio"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TPMMP-Post_Image_800HX500H.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12398"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12399,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12398\/revisions\/12399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronniebrown.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
