Some foreigners among the Israelites had a strong craving for other kinds of food. Even the Israelites started crying again and said, “If only we had meat to eat! Remember all the free fish we ate in Egypt and the cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions, and garlic we had? But now we’ve lost our appetite! Everywhere we look there’s nothing but manna!”
(Manna was small like coriander seeds and looked like resin. The people would go around and gather it, then grind it in a handmill or crush it in a mortar. They would cook it in a pot or make round loaves of bread out of it. It tasted like rich pastry made with olive oil. When dew fell on the camp at night, manna fell with it.)

-Numbers 11: 4-9
I've heard it asked several times and in many different ways, "What's your Goliath?" This question is referring to the time when David struck down the Philistine giant, Goliath. The question leads us to think about the giants in our lives that so often bring fear and trembling, when in reality, God can strike them down with one stone.
But have you ever stopped to consider, "What's your manna?" What amazing, perhaps even miraculous blessing is God giving you, that you are complaining about?
