Manna and Quail

 

Exodus 16:13~20 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’” (16)

As you look at the incidents of manna and quail, there is an answer you must absolutely receive. For the Israelites who were walking through the wilderness, God had prepared a special answer for the sake of evangelism. God’s will for them was to pass through the wilderness and enter the land of Canaan. God carefully watched over the Israelites and blessed them. Then, what kind of answers can you receive?

1. True Liberation
The answers you’ll absolutely receive are true liberation and the enjoyment of the blessings of a child of God. True liberation is the transformation of your scars into your vision. Additionally, all hardships you face while trying to meet God will become your springboard. You won’t be tied down by hardships. Instead, you’ll discover something far better prepared by God.

2. Eternal Answers
You must change the direction of all the flows of your daily life to become centered on the covenant, worship, and the Lord’s Day because God’s Word is eternal. Holding onto the eternal Word of God and receiving answers centered on the covenant are answers for you prepared by God.

Hardships, persecutions, and suffering are momentary. However, God’s covenant and answers are eternal. You aren’t just vaguely waiting for answers. You’re waiting while enjoying God’s promises. His covenant is absolutely fulfilled. Therefore, just entrust your future to God.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, within the blessing of true liberation, help me to hold onto Your eternal covenant. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Kind of Person Are You?

To those who quarrel because of money and to those who make decisions according to their own benefits, that’s the kind of life they’ll eventually live.
However, you should not want to become like them.
Why should you?
“You are a child of God. You must be used for the works that God desires and for evangelism.”
Your genuine prayer before God has become answers for today.
