REVEALED WORD TODAY

// Read: Ex.16:11-20 //
11-12 And Jehovah said to Moses, “I have heard their complaints. Tell them, ‘In the evening you will have meat and in the morning you will be stuffed with bread, and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God.’”

13 That evening vast numbers of quail arrived and covered the camp, and in the morning the desert all around the camp was wet with dew; 14 and when the dew disappeared later in the morning it left thin white flakes that covered the ground like frost. 15 When the people of Israel saw it they asked each other, “What is it?”

And Moses told them, “It is the food Jehovah has given you. 16 Jehovah has said for everyone to gather as much as is needed for his household—about two quarts[a] for each person.”

17 So the people of Israel went out and gathered it—some getting more and some less before it melted on the ground, 18 and there was just enough for everyone. Those who gathered more had nothing left over and those who gathered little had no lack! Each home had just enough.

19 And Moses told them, “Don’t leave it overnight.”

20 But of course some of them wouldn’t listen, and left it until morning; and when they looked, it was full of maggots and had a terrible odor; and Moses was very angry with them.

MEDITATION:
Did you notice that God was not annoyed with the children of Israel? They out rightly disobeyed God by keeping the bread till the next day. It was only Moses that was wrath with them. 2 Peter 3:9 says “the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some man count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” The reason is that He wanted them to know Him. Up till then, they have only heard of him.

PRAYER: Lord, help me never to take your loving kindness for granted.
