~Taken From Egypt~

   The taste of garlic lingers,enticing with memories
   of creature comforts & of needs met with luxuries
             compared to this wilderness,
           where Manna must be waited upon
           to fall from Heaven day by day,
         when my patience is far from strong ~

          ~& though the manna nourishes,
            & satisfies my every need,
       there are times I crave the things
         I consumed once, in my greed,
    when, unconcerned with the consequences,  
          I would yeild to my flesh,
       only now do I see the bondages,
     & how, with the world I would mesh.

      So though there are enticements
       I still must learn to resist,
       I see His provision waiting...
...when I walk in faith, it's obvious,
     & like the Manna daily falling,
        I wait upon a Rhema Word
    to nourish my spirit day by day,  
like it never was nourished in the world.
