Todays Manna

Exodus 16
When God brought the Israel nation from Egypt, led by Moses, He provided for them. They were completely dependent upon the Lords mercy.
Everyday (except for the Sabbath day) God gave them manna. They had to trust that God would be faithful every minute, or else they wouldn't be able to survive. They had to trust that God would provide Every. Single. Day.
And He did. They got manna everyday, which they were told to throw out every evening and not save for the next day; not to worry about tomorrow for God would provide. Yet some did not trust Him enough and would save the manna for the next day, that's when they disobeyed and sinned.
Each day we have to trust that God,our warrior (Exodus 15:3), provider, Father and King, by His great mercy will be there.
It would be wrong to trust our selves and hold on to the old, when He expects us to accept the new blessing/word He has provided for this day.
God was molding the character of His nation, and does the same for us today. But it's all for the best, to become more in His image. More Christ like.
-Last weeks manna is no good for today. Each day we must receive new food, only that way we can grow.
Exodus 19:4-6 NIV
"4... You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ ..."
