-Eighteen- Bread And Water

Bread and Water

Today’s Reading: Exodus 16 and Exodus 17:1-7

Focal Verse: Exodus 16:4a

The the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you.”

When I was a child, I would read stories about children being punished, or about prisoners in jail, who were fed a diet of bread and water. So at first, bread and water doesn’t sound very appealing and even a little “mean”.

But this bread was different. This bread was from heaven. It was nutritious and tasty. No one had to work for this bread – just to receive each day what each one needed.

God also provided water so they would not thirst. He fulfilled the physical needs of these grumbling, complaining people.

God still offers the Bread of Life and the Living Water today. He still gives us whatever “amount” we need for that day. The Bread never runs out. The Well never runs dry. And He still offers it to a grumbling, complaining people.

Sweet sustaining Grace!!
