Ex. 16:35
So the people of Israel ate manna for forty years until they arrived in
the land of Canaan, where there were crops to eat.
The Israelites were on a forty year journey
through the wilderness going to the Promised Land. It took them forty years because of their
failure to trust God and go in and take possession of the Promised Land when
they were camped at Kadesh-Barnea. God
assigned them one year of wanderings for each day their spies were in scouting
out the land because they discouraged the people from going in and take
possession of the land God had promised to give them.
Even though they were under God's discipline, He
took care of their daily needs. God
provided water and food for them all along their journey. For forty years the Israelites began each day
gathering up manna for their food. Every
day was a reminder to them that God is faithful and true to His word. The supply of manna did not stop until they
had set foot on the Promised Land where they could then eat of the crops of the
land.
What an awesome God we serve! He watches over His children and supplies
their daily needs. We may not always
have what we want, but we will always have what we need. God is always true to His word and when He
says not to worry about your daily food, shelter and clothing, He means
it. Trust God without wavering and He
will take care of you all the days of your life. No matter how rough things may get, do not
stop trusting in God and He will take care of you and see you through until you
get home to heaven where He is waiting to help you.
