Exodus 16:28 –
The Lord asked Moses, “How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions?
During this chapter the Lord provided food in the way of manna, a white flakey substance, for breakfast and meat for dinner. No one seems to focus on the evening meal ever. Everyone focuses on the manna from heaven. I guess it’s cooler than quail which just happen to appear each evening. The manna cannot be explained where quail could.
However they ate, God noticed no matter how much he provided many, if not most, refused to obey and follow his commands. How many of us do exactly that?? The bible is simple in its instructions on what to do and not to do. How many of us actually follow this “instruction book”?? The Bible does not ask us to all become monk and live on a mountain, just follow and believe in God.
Just like the Israelites cannot store up manna except for their needs on the Sabbath, we should not “store” our teachings; it should be a daily occurrence. Get what you need from the Word today. What do I mean?? Read the bible, read books on scripture, listen to teachings, do whatever you can to get your daily dose of manna!! Don’t rely on what you did last year or the fact you may have read the Bible through multiple times, keep searching for truth and “food” from the Word.
