[The Glory Unveiled]
They laid it [the manna] aside till morning, as Moses told them; and it did not become foul, neither was it wormy. ( Exodus 16:24 )
The Israelites were caught up in the wilderness without food, without water. Even though they had just celebrated the victory of leaving the land of slavery, they are now grumbling and murmuring about Moses’ deliverance because of hunger. And then the glory of God brought them food [Manna] to eat. But there were instructions to the gracious meal; no one was to take more than they could eat for the day. As you would know, some decided to take more than they could eat for the day because they wanted to save for the next day or another day of need. They wanted to have enough so that they wouldn’t need to depend on Moses or the God of Moses for a meal. But the next morning, the manna went so bad that it bred worms. On the day before the sabbath, they had to gather two days portion but the next day, the Manna did not go bad as before. It was because the instructions had come from God [through Moses]. It is God’s word that makes alive or takes away. Something may not be working out well in our lives because we have not keyed into the right instructions yet. When the right instructions are obeyed, the right results are delivered. So, instead of fighting our way into what we desire, we must locate the right instructions under the right circumstances and then we are guaranteed the results.
Prayer_Bead: King of Glory, Lord of lords, you are glorious in majesty and merciful in the earth. Thank you for the wonderful grace to adhere to the instructions of your mouth that yield the right results.
