God cared deeply for the Israelites. We know that He miraculously provided manna for them. God
provided their daily bread. But He also included them in the provision of that daily bread. God didn’t
allow them to sit by and do nothing—the food didn’t just drop into their laps!
Every day they were instructed to go out and gather the manna. After they gathered, they had to grind
it or prepare it in some way to make the food or bread they were to eat.
Read Exodus 16:1–30. Isn’t it cool that God included His people in His miracle? He gave them purpose
and direction, even in their grumbling and wandering.
In Exodus 16:12, God said, “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites” (NIV). He heard them, He
included them, and He cared for them.
How has God heard you? How has He included you? And how has He cared for you each and every
day?
It is easy for us to fall into a pattern of grumbling, but when we take our focus off our circumstances and
put it on the God who cares for us, it completely changes our perspective about our situation and our
God.
He is a good God, and He cares for us so deeply.
