Winter Collection 2025: The Bread Come Down/ Manna and Quail

The bread come down/Exodus 16/ Manna and Quail

I started this one as part of a two painting collection called “the bread come down” ( I will share the other painting soon) , a meditation on how God gives us exactly what we need. We fill our baskets maybe with a lot of or a little but it ends up being perfect. The act of faith is trusting that He gives us what we need.

We see a very pregnant Israelite woman holding her womb and carrying a basket of manna. There is a dusting of manna at her feet, a gorgeous billowy sun, and a couple well placed quails add more living subjects to the painting, but my reflection is on this woman. We can put ourself in her shoes. Do we trust as we collect the “manna” God had provided in our life, that it will be enough; exactly what we need?

Do we trust God gives us what we need?
Do we trust God gives us what we need?
Do we trust God gives us what we need?
