nothing but manna

Numbers 11:4-6

4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

Last week we studied how GOD GAVE victory to Gideon and his troops. They entered into a hopeless situation. The odds were 450 to 1 against them. There is NO rational explanation for how and why they prevailed; yet they did! God does it ALL. It's God's plan and God's world. God's will will be done. One way or another. 

With GOD Less is More!

This week we will study the The Far Reaching Arm of God. We like to think that we know what GOD will and won't do. And, we are never happy with the results. Yet, God's arm reaches further than we expect and His blessings are more gracious and abundant than we give Him credit for. 

Today we return to the forth book of the Old Testament; the book of Numbers. This is the time when the Israelites have escaped slavery in Egypt and are wandering through the desert. Day after day they are eating manna. For every meal they are eating manna. And, they are sick and tired of manna! 

Today's verses; "And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a LUSTING: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: But now our soul is DRIED away: there is NOTHING at all, beside this MANNA, before our eyes."
