Exodus 16:22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses, 23 he said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.’” 24 So they laid it aside till the morning, as Moses commanded them, and it did not stink, and there were no worms in it. 25 Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.” 27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none.
We quickly see a pattern developing when they people head into the wilderness to worship God. They complain; God hears their complaints and provides their need and instructions for handling that provision. Two things happen next: some violated the instructions - blatantly disobeying, while others come against another issue and many complain again. God gives clear and simple instructions. All we need to do is trust and learn to trust Him more. Then, when another need or issue arises, call out in faith to Him, and He WILL direct our paths. We make things so complicated.
