I’ve always thought it manna as a blessing and a miracle but today I realized it was also a tool for training the people. They were given instructions follow daily and if they did not follow the instructions either on I have it the other they would feel the effects of their disobedience same day. Not only that but the instructions were the same for every day so they had to attention to which day it was—this would quickly build the habit of paying attention and preparing for the day of rest.
When we talk of the blessing of manna we think of the people being fed but a further blessing was the cadence of having a day of rest every seven days. That must have been a physical blessing to the health of the people besides the blessing of never wanting for food.
