I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Exodus 16-18.

    The Book of Exodus contains story after story about relying on God to meet our needs.The Israelites fretted and complained about their lack of food, convinced that they were going to starve in the wilderness. After seeing how God provided food for them, they still complained when they came to a place and found not water there. In both instances, God provided for their needs. Manna is in many ways the perfect example of how God provides for us. They received just enough manna for each day, except on the sixth day, when they received enough for the sixth and seventh day so that they would not need to gather manna on the Sabbath. This is how God provides for us. He provides just enough for today, unless He has something coming up where He does not want us to spend time gathering for our needs. Or, another way to look at it, when God provides us more than we need for our immediate needs, we had better put some of it aside for the future.
