Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not." Exodus 16:4

For the nation of Israel, God’s provision had a duel purpose.

Food and formation.
Sustenance and sanctification.
Hunger assistance and holiness assessment!

What was the goal of the test?

Come to me…daily.
Rely on me…daily.
Obey me…daily.

TRUST. ME. DAILY.

Maybe, this is also one of the purposes of God’s provision in our lives today. Maybe, God is not finished using provision as a test. Maybe, this is why Jesus teaches his disciples to pray…

“Give us this day our daily bread...” Matthew 6:11

“More” isn’t bad—it just doesn’t teach us to trust God like “exactly enough” does.
