Walking With Christ

Lessons in grace found while wandering the wilderness…

Exodus 16:15 (15) When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.(ESV)

Exodus 16:19 (19) And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.”(ESV)

Manna from heaven. The children of Israel were given manna in the morning, quail in the evening, and water from a rock. All of their needs were met. They were told that they could not get too much or not enough. Some gathered a lot while others gathered just a little. There would be exactly enough for every person to get full for the day. Then they were told that they could not store any for the next day.

Of course, they did try to save some. It was rotten the next day.

Grace is exactly the same way. We are given exactly the right amount of grace each day. We can’t borrow from future grace, and we can’t store up grace to have a cushion for later. That’s not how the Lord works. He is always enough for right now.
