Day 37
4 Then
the LORD said to Moses, “Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven
for you. Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they
need for that day. I will test them in this to see whether or not they
will follow my instructions.
DAILY DEPENDENCE
We
often long for God to reveal the whole path before us, but He usually
gives us only one stepping stone at a time. During Israel's desert
wandering, God set up a system that required the Israelites to trust in
His provision on a daily basis. He knew self-sufficiency would draw them
away from Him.
It can be tough to choose a path of daily
dependence on God in our lives and the lives of our children. We
desperately want to plan, orchestrate, and manipulate all the details
because it gives us a sense of control. The illusion of control however,
can tempt us to rely on ourselves instead of God. Are you holding
tightly to your sense of control, or are you depending on God for
guidance?
Trust your children to God each morning. He knows what He's doing.
