Read Scriptures: Exodus 15:22-17:17
Situation: For centuries the Israelites had lived on fertile farm land in Goshen. What a contrast the desert was to this previous comfort. With no way to provide for themselves, the Israelites complained to God. He performed daily miracles to provide water and food for them. Manna appeared in flake from with the morning dew. The Israelites ground it like grain and cooked with it.
Observation: The Israelites focused on physical need, but God focused on their need to learn to trust Him. The Israelites could not conquer the desert, but climate was not a problem for God. He sustained, tested and encouraged them in a perfect way.
Application: What needs prompt you to pray today? Give these needs specifically to God. Pray about each one and don't worry. Trust that God who created you, knows how to meet your needs.
Exploration: God Provides - Matthew 6:25; 14:18-21; Luke 12:22-31; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Phillipians 4:19; 1 Peter 5:7.
