Manna and steak

2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD .
Deuteronomy 8:2-3

Surely God could give Israelites steak everyday if He chooses to, but He knows, they would be so consumed his blessing that they would forget Him, it is really God who will never fail to satisfy. Also it is better to be depend your self with manna that come from God then depend on steak that you slaughter, steak might be tasty for the moment, but in the long run it will ruin your health and cause heart attack. Furthermore, Manna from God will never run dry, because God never disappoint, and steak that we slaughter is not guaranteed to be here tomorrow.

Many time, I feel I have desire to get married, I desire companionship, love and intimacy with a women. But just as God give Israel manna to fill them up, God give me brother companionship, love, intimacy with family, surely the brotherly love is different from love with women, and intimacy with family is different from intimacy with women. But it is love and intimacy never the less, just as manna was food, steak is food never the less.
