When you’re desperate for God, you become dependent upon the daily sustaining power of His word. Your source of survival is your daily manna— feeding on the word of God. We know the manna of the wilderness was good for only one day; if kept over into the next day, it would rot (Exodus 16:12-31). It’s still true that yesterday’s feeding in the word will never sustain us for today. One of the primary functions of the secret place is to be fed afresh each day in His word. (B. Sorge)
