—Exodus 16:13-17
by: Sheri Rood.
The Israelites had been slaves for so long that complaining was their way of life. They had lived in a fertile river valley in the Land of Goshen, and even though God had promised them a fertile land of their own, they could not see past the desert. God sent the manna as a daily provision so they would learn to trust Him each day. Are you in a spiritual desert place or a fertile valley right now? Either way, go out and gather the provision God has given for your household today and partake with thanksgiving. There will be more tomorrow!
