9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Announce this to the entire community of Israel: ‘Present yourselves before the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.’” 10 And as Aaron spoke to the whole community of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. There they could see the awesome glory of the Lord in the cloud.
present yourself before the Lord.. I am thinking we should do this daily.. I am thinking that instead.. many days we feel that we have too much dirt on us so we don't want to be in His presence.. almost like we have to 'prepare' ourself to go before the Lord.. I am thinking something is wrong in that... we should all be desiring to be in the place where we can see the glory of the Lord.. either in our eyes or in our spirit...
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the Israelites’ complaints. Now tell them, ‘In the evening you will have meat to eat, and in the morning you will have all the bread you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
"then you will know I am the Lord your God" if you read the old testament.. that is much of the reasoning behind what God did... why is it that we don't KNOW He is the Lord our God??
13 That evening vast numbers of quail flew in and covered the camp. And the next morning the area around the camp was wet with dew. 14 When the dew evaporated, a flaky substance as fine as frost blanketed the ground. 15 The Israelites were puzzled when they saw it. “What is it?” they asked each other. They had no idea what it was.And Moses told them, “It is the food the Lord has given you to eat. 16 These are the Lord’s instructions: Each household should gather as much as it needs. Pick up two quarts for each person in your tent.”17 So the people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, some only a little. 18 But when they measured it out, everyone had just enough. Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed.
God gives us just what we need... we keep thinking we need more than enough.. God gives just enough so we are still dependent on Him...
19 Then Moses told them, “Do not keep any of it until morning.” 20 But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them.
some of them didn't listen.. LOL!! hard heads just like us.. .
