Dear Family,
Today is Tuesday, May 28, 2024. It is Day 31 and Day 3 of Week 5 in our Count to Pentecost.
God‛s mercy, graciousness, and generosity are always impressive. Consider what God did for the murmuring Israelites and see His divine nature in action.
Exodus 16:11-15 (11) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, (12) I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying; At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. (13) And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. (14) And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. (15) And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another; It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them; This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
Instead of punishment for their accusations, griping, and complaining, God sent bread from heaven and a huge quantity of quails that covered the camp. The Israelites certainly did not deserve the extra blessings God was pouring out upon them, but, after all, He is the Giver of all Givers.
How much does God give us in undeserved blessings?
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
