timeffol b c v place j the wilderness of sin exposltkm x murmuring and sup plying 1 5 14 as soon as moses and the children of israel saw the overthrowing of the egyptians in the red sea they sang a song of victory and praise they attri buted all the victory to god ch 15 131 but israels gratitude and songful spirit lasted only three days oh 15 2224 god delivered them again ch 15 25 but at the first new trouble they began to murmur again clc 16 1 2 human nature wrong the israelites was exactly the same as human nature is today men 61 all nations and in all generations are far more disposed to murmur at the hardships that god permits to come to them for their own highest good than to be grateful for the benefits with which he dally leads us au onejjrf the greatest needs today even among professed christians is more thanksgiving and less grumbling a clearer vision of gods manifold gifts and a less keen vision for supposed hard ships the israelites were much more disposed to complain at the privations met in the path in which god led them than at the hardships endured in pharaohs service just as many today complain more at the privations of gods service than at the hardships of satans bondage israel wished themselves back in egypt v 3 when people wish themselves back in egypt a life of worldllness and sin they forget both the bitterness of the old life and the blessings of the new they think only of the flesh pots and bread to the full israel exaggerated the enjoyments of egypt they had not had bread to the full the man down in egypt is never full john 4 13 eccl 1 8 it was just a month since they left egypt num 33- 3 cf v 1 they had already forgotten all its miseries the murmur- ings were unanimous the whole con gregation v 2 god himself heard the muifhurings of the children of israel he always hears our never forget that god hears every word of murjnurlng and complaint that you utter in response to their murmuring god sent them the bread they desired to the full and fed them with flesh as well cf pi 105 40 but though he gave them their request he sent lean ness into their soul ps 106- 15 the following day the manna appeared upon which they were to feed during their wudemssjauineyngs god gave them better than they ever liad bread from heaven and he gave it in abundance the manna was a type of christ cf john 6 3133 35 it was a super- natural gift it was from heaven a gift sustaining life but there was a difference between the type and the antitype the manna sustaining life for a time jesus sustaining life forever john 6 58 each one was obliged to gather for himself and for his family what god gave and we must each appro priate to ourselves the bread of life jesus whom god has given to the world john 6 3335 50 51 and for our families acts 16 31 they were to gather a days portion each day v 4 so we must feed each day anew on jesus matt 6 11 the purpose in giving each day only for that day was to test them whether they would obey him v 4 some- of them failed at the very first test vs 19 20 that kept over bred worms and stank v 20 we must get our spiritual food fresh each day hoarded wealth spoils both temporaland spiritual dlstrustofgod lies at the bottom of gathering and hoarding today for tomorrow vs 25 26 30 33 34 the mighty god of today will be just as might tomorrow by the gift of the manna god would teach them a man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the lord deut 8 2 3 visible and ordin ary supplies may fall but gods word abldeth sure what the manna was like we learn in verses 2431 and nunv- b 1 1- 7 8 th people were not satisfied with the bread of heaven num 11 5 and many who profess to be christians today are not satisfied with christ they want the leeks and the onions and the garlic and other stinking stuff of egypt num 11 5 6 in order to get the manna the israelites had to get up early in the morning v 21 isa 55 l matt 6 33 the one who does not get his daily portion inline morning is not likely to get it that day rj continuing mercies 35 jehovah made provision that israel might remember his sustaining grace and how he had fed them in the wilder ness he did not wish that they forget his mercy the object was that they may see the bread wherewith i fed you in the wilderness when i brought you forth from the land of egypt in a similar iway trielord jesus christ ap pointed the lords supper as a perpetual memorial of his redeeming work by his death on the cross 1 cor 11 26 it would have been gross ingratitude on the part of israel not to lay up the pot of manna that coming generations might not forget gods goodness to them and how he fed them in the wilderness but it is more gross ingratitude on our part not tojeeep the lords supper often to bring to mind the atoning death of christ for us moses and aaron showed their wisdom by doing exactly as they were told v 34 for forty years the chil dren of israel lived an manna they bad to live upon manna or die and we rehrist for tttustr- here 4s a great lesson for all who will heed israels food in the wilderness was such as the people might have desired similarly in relation to spiritual sustenance there is no substitute fbr christ the living bread learning will not feed the soul culture will not sus tain the spiritual nature nothing this world can give or show will give strength and growth to the immortal side of us or satisfy the inner longings of the heart we are utterly dependent on the heaven ly manna christ the bread of j lif e if we are not to perish but fed on him we can prove equal
