Exodus 16 · Grade 4
Bread From Heaven
Read and Think
Israel grumbled even after God had rescued them. Moses told them their complaints were really against God. Grumbling shows we doubt God's goodness.
God gave manna one day at a time. The people had to trust Him every morning. Those who tried to store extra found it spoiled. God wanted them to depend on Him daily.
God also gave the Sabbath, a day of rest. In the New Testament, Jesus teaches his followers to ask God for daily bread, and he calls himself the bread of life (John 6:35).
