Exodus 16:-
Regarding the manna
and quail from heaven and the complaining Israelites; it appears, judging from
the account in Numbers, that certain people were more prone to complaining than
others. I was thinking there certainly
must be some who said, “We got a serious problem with food that seems to be
getting worse. We need to seek the
Lord. The Lord will provide.”
We learn from the
Gospels that Jesus was and is the Bread from heaven that satisfies spiritual
hunger and the Water from the Rock that satisfies spiritual thirst. His promise is that if we hunger and thirst
we will be filled. Unfortunately, too
many resign themselves to spiritual emaciation and dehydration, by seeking
nourishment in all the wrong places, while neglecting the only true Source.
God had enough from
the Amalekites and pronounced a grave judgment on them. Jethro gave Moses
what appears to be advice from God on how to be an effective
administrator. God expresses His love
for Israel and reveals Himself – His holiness, while expressing deep concern
for the people’s safety.
