Teaching
When The Manna Ceases
The form of God's provision can change as His people enter a different circumstance or responsibility.
Scripture
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day. And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Truth
The form of God's provision can change as His people enter a different circumstance or responsibility.
Insight
- Manna was God's provision for Israel during their wilderness journey.
- The manna ceased when Israel began eating the produce of Canaan.
- The end of one form of provision was not the end of God's care for Israel.
- A previous provision should not be treated as the only way God can provide.
- Faithfulness requires receiving God's provision in the circumstances He has given rather than demanding a former method.
Application
- Thank God for how He has provided in past seasons.
- Do not make a past method of provision an object of trust.
- Pay attention to the responsibilities and opportunities of your present circumstances.
- Receive God's provision with gratitude rather than comparing it with a former season.
- Let Scripture shape your trust rather than fear when familiar support changes.
