Many times, we are like the Israelites...

...forgetting God's power...forgetting His provision



Many times, we are like the Israelites...

...forgetting God's power...forgetting His provision

Are you like this today???



God's will today:



In spite of the complaints, God

graciously provides for theneeded food (v.4).

But beyond that, God wanted

the Israelites to learn

them and see whether they will

follow my instructions." (v.4b)

Will we obey Him?



God will lead us.Will we follow Him?



God will take care of us.Will we trust and obey

Him?

withholding of His

provision) is for us to knowthat He is the LORD GOD!



“What is it?”

Manna



Moses: "It is the bread the

LORD has given you to

eat." (v.15b)

Manna



What instructions did Godgive the Israelites?



Each one is to gather as much as he needs. Take

an omer for each person you have in your tent

(v.16).

No one is to keep any of it until morning (v.19).

On the sixth day, gather twice as much bec.

Sabbath is to be a day of rest (v.22).

Everyone is to stay where he is on the seventh

day; no one is to go out (v.29).



What did some Israelitesdo?



However, some of them paid no attention toMoses; they kept part of it until morning, but it

was full of maggots and began to smell (v.20).

Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the

seventh day to gather it, but they found none(v.27).



They disobeyed!



They disobeyed the God who

has just given them bread

from heaven!



“How long will you refuse to

keep my commands and my

instructions?” - God (v.28)



God is asking us today:

“How long will you refuse

to keep my commands and

my instructions?”



God is asking you and me

“How long will you refuse

to keep my commands andmy instructions?”



“(Insert your name), howlong will you refuse to keep

my commands and my

instructions?” - God

refuse to keep my commandsand my instructions?” - Go



Is there anything that God

has been telling you to do?(Think hard.)



(“Trust and Obey” song)
