What is Manna Monday?

The Team at the Real Health Co. shares a weekly message to help you center yourself and start your week off strong!

Sophie Hurst:

Hey, everyone. My name is Sophie, and I help with office admin and social media here at The Real Health Co. So excited to talk to you today. Today, I'm just gonna be talking about how Jesus is steadfast and just how much he's taught me through that and how much he can can teach you through that as well. I just love that character quality in Jesus and just the fact that his presence is constant, the fact that he's always consistent, he's always the same no matter how we change, no matter what happens in our life, he stays the same.

Sophie Hurst:

And I just have learned so much about how when my emotions and my circumstances, even though those are always changing, as my thoughts change, as I go through different things that shape who I am, his presence and who he is is always the same. I like to think about it kind of like this, in this analogy. And I think about my emotions kinda like the waves of the ocean or the mountains and the valleys, how they're always up and down, but Jesus is just one straight line. You look out across the ocean and it's just one straight line. Jesus is just always the same.

Sophie Hurst:

It's always the same picture. He's always the same character, and always the same person and presence in our lives no matter how we change, no matter how up or down the waves, the mountains, the valleys are in our life. And even as our lives change and as we adapt and grow and change ourselves, his care and his presence is constant, and he knows what we need throughout all of it. And he's willing to provide for us. He knows what we need before we do.

Sophie Hurst:

And I just think that that is such a good truth to hold on to every single day. That also reminds me of verses in Matthew 6 where it says, "do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air. They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them." Are you not of more value than they?"

Sophie Hurst:

And it just really, these verses teach me just something about Jesus and the way that we can rest and really rely on the way that he cares for us, trusting him to provide what we need. And also, the Bible just teaches us that whenever we care about something, whenever we're worried, whenever things around us are changing, his care for us is constant. And when we put him at the center, everything else feels and becomes more steady because he is steady. And that's the promise that he has taught me over and over again.

Sophie Hurst:

And I think that he, puts so much love and care into everything, that happens to us, and he's so intentional with it. So that's the truth that I wanna leave with you today, and thank you guys for listening. This is Manna Monday.
