They were froward children, but they were children still. Gracious God! well might they sing: for thy mercy endureth ever. Psalms 136:1, throughout. But is there not a spiritual meaning here? Did the manna cease not until they got to Canaan? And is not Jesus the heavenly manna, the food of his people, until the whole of their pilgrimage is over? Lord! may I know what it is to eat of thy body, that I may have eternal life abiding in me.
