10 Apr

Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.

Scripture

Exodus 16:4

Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.

Reflect

In the wilderness, God didn’t take away the desert; He brought provision in the desert. FGA has walked through dry seasons, financially, spiritually, and emotionally. There were months when offerings were small. Times when leaders were weary, people left, or prayers went unanswered. Yet manna always appeared. Someone would give quietly. Healing would come. A new family would show up. A youth would lift their hands in worship, and hope would return. Miracles are not the absence of hardship. They are God’s presence in the middle of it.

Celebratory Activity

Share one “manna story” with someone, that is, a testimony of how God provided when it didn’t make sense.

Prayer

Jehovah Jireh, You have always provided. Thank You for every miracle, big and small. Thank you for keeping us when we could not keep ourselves. Teach us to trust You again in every desert. Amen.
