Exodus 16:16

This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer for each person you have in your tent.’”

From Background Notes [BN] for January 19^th & 20^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

For Israel, “A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

·         Key phrase? “As much as he needs.”
·         Main idea? “Much … not too much … Little not too little.”
·         Warning? “No one is to keep…”
·         Consequence? “Full of maggots … began to smell.”
·         Unused? “It melted away.”

That’s how daily bread works. It’s about living under the promise, not by grasping, but by grace.  [BN, 9 & 10]
