Lessons from the wilderness
The Lord did many things for the Jews while they lived in the wilderness, but Exodus 19:4 sums up three of the ways He cared for them. He cares for us still in these same ways. 1. He deals with our enemies. He destroyed Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea. You don't want to mess with God's people! 2. He bears us on eagles' wings. He lifts us up and carries us. He helps us soar, even during our problems. 3. He brings us to Himself. This is His goal all along! To bring us into intimate relationship with Himself. The Lord also provided daily bread in the wilderness - not too much, not too little - just the right amount. But if the people hoarded His provision out of fear, greed, or doubt, the bread become full of worms and moldy. When, however, they saved two days' worth ( in obedience to God this time ) of manna so they wouldn't have to gather on the Sabbath, but instead rest, then the manna remained fresh and edible.
