How many of us have days just like this? Repeated each day, not much new, same old stuff. I have often thought of how the Israelites traveled throughout the desert after leaving Egypt. They spent years wandering, and eating nothing but quail and manna. But… each day there was the provision for that day, nothing needed to be kept for another day, (except for the Sabbath day, then it was prepared the day before). They did this day after day after day, until one day they reached the promised land! Time to party!!!
We will one day get back to the point where we can just go out and do what we would like to do, stop by the mall to shop, go to a restaurant, even have a party and not worry about forgetting our mask, gloves, hand sanitizers. I don’t think that will be tomorrow, lol. And by the time it gets here, we will all be used to doing things a new way.
But God does have promises in the bible, He is with us, He does not forsake us, (Matthew 28:20), and treasures that we can find. So as we trudge onward, be on the lookout for those things. As Dory says: “Just keep swimming!” Hopefully we won’t swim for 40 years.
“The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to. land that was settled; the ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.” Exodus 16:35. (read all off Exodus 16 to see story)
