—Exodus 16:16-21
by: Cheri Appel.
The complaining Israelites wanted to die in Egypt. They did not understand that God had plagued the Egyptians because He is Lord. Providing food for His people demonstrated that He is God. The manna itself was only one phenomenon. How many miracles were actually happening in this passage? Since the Israelites had never experienced manna, they required detailed instructions. Some of which required faith. For those who disregarded the specifics, God “bugged” them in the morning! Would you have been hesitant to gather on Friday for Sabbath day? God hears all, even our murmurs. What have we murmured that we need to apologize and repent for?
