Manna

When Israel wandered the desert for 40 years, God provided manna — a flaky, white substance that appeared on the ground each morning (Exodus 16). It tasted like honey wafers. They could only gather one day's worth at a time (except before the Sabbath) — teaching daily dependence on God. Jesus called Himself 'the bread of life' and said He was greater than manna, offering spiritual sustenance that lasts forever (John 6:31-35).
