Exodus 16:1-17:16
The
Lord provides. Through the provision of manna and water, the Lord
sustains His people. Strong in Him, they press on to victory. This is a
picture of the Christian life. Before we can be soldiers of Christ, we
must receive our strength from the Lord. We come to Him, looking to Him
for strength - His strength. Jesus is the Bread of Life. He is the
Living Water (John 6:51: John 4:14). Strengthened by Him, we will not be
defeated. We will be victorious - "more than conquerors through Him who
loved us." His love will give us the victory. "Nothing will be able to
separate us from His love" (Romans 8:37-39). In the provision of manna
and water, we see love. In the victory over the Amalekites, we see the
victory of love: "Love has the victory forever." The God who loved His
people - revealing His love in the Exodus, maintaining His love in the
wilderness - gave them the victory.
