The Lord purposedly led Israel to places of need so she would learn to lean, in faith, on Him to supply her needs. He does the same with us! He leads us to places of "want" to develop and stretch our faith in His grace, which is sufficient no matter what the need is. In times of humanly insolvable problems, we can respond in one of two ways: (1) we can grumble and mumble and play the "blame-game," or (2) we can go to the Lord and ask Him to resolve the situation, resting in the fact that He will do what is best for His children.
In this lesson (and lesson 10b of this series), learn all about "Manna" (also called "the corn of heaven" and "angel's food"). What does the word "manna" mean? What did manna taste like and look like? How long did it last? What was Israel's "Sixth Day Test"? Why was a pot of it preserved in the Ark of the Covenant - what did it symbolize? How much fell in order to feed some 2,000,000 people? What happened to it when the sun rose? When did it cease to fall in relation to Israel's wilderness journey? Why did God arrange matters so that the people had to daily and individually stoop down to gather their "omer" of manna. How much is an "omer"?
What did the Lord do when Israel grumbled about the quail He graciously sent them in the wilderness? When you find out, you will realize we have a sense of humor because we are made in His image, and He definitely has a sense of humor (even, sometimes, in His chastening)!
