How many of you are entirely dependent on God? You'll hear or see me write about this topic a lot because some of us don’t know how much God truly wants us to do this, and sometimes it's hard to do because we feel like everything is on us. It isn’t, it's on God, when we allow him to be, that’s something the Israelites didn’t understand; they thought that God would set them free, then it's all on them to do what they wanted to do. Still, God wanted them to depend on him for everything; some of them thought Moses brought them out to kill them. They were lost, but that wasn’t true either. Sometimes we allow the enemy to plant seeds of doubt in our heads, and we start to lose faith in God, and that’s what happened here in this story. They started to lose faith in God.
Exodus 16:2-3 In the desert, the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
God had a plan. He had a plan that he wanted them to follow, but a lot of them didn’t want to. Sometimes, when God tells us to do something, it's hard to do it because we think there's no way this plan will work, or this isn't going to happen.
Verse 4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out daily and gather enough for that day. I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.
See the key words DAILY gather enough for that day, he wanted them to depend on him each day and they see it as a waste of time that they could do this one day and be good that they didn’t need to meet God to get food, and some of them didn’t listen, they wanted to do what they wanted to do.
Verse 17-18 The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. 18 When they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.
Verse 20 But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then, it was full of maggots and smelled terrible. Moses was very angry with them.
See God is telling them don’t gather to much but to what they needed and the ones that didn’t listen had maggots in the morning, when we don’t listen to God we get something that we never wanted or something we wasn’t expecting, God wanted to meet them every day to provide for them and that’s what God wants to do with us every day he wants to provide a word for us every day. Still, some of us won’t come to him because we feel it’s too much and it isn’t, some of us go but don’t stay long enough so we miss out for our word of the day, God is trying to give some of you a word and you’re missing it, because you won’t be obedient to the spirit of God that is speak forth to you today.
God wants to provide for us through prayer and other means; that’s why we pray so that we can receive a word from Him about our day or a particular situation. Some of us like to guess what is going to happen or go to different individuals to , we think can get a word in but what we must understand just like they got a word we can get our word daily, God wants to speak to us daily, but it’s up to us to meet him where he is.
Colossians 4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
We pray daily like this to stay watchful. We do this daily, because everything is daily with God. Just as our emotions change and our day changes, that’s why we must go to Him daily for His words. And while we do this, we must be watchful.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known
It tells us here to call on him and he will give us answers, but we must do this daily, and he will show us things that is hidden and unknown to us that’s about anything, but we must be open to meeting him daily are you meeting the lord daily through prayer or in your words? Are you allowing his presence to fill you up so that you may go forth through your day full of him?
1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually
The Israelites didn’t seek His presence; they were too busy trying to find ways to leave God. However, God still, each time, gave them more than what they deserved. This is similar to us; we don’t deserve half the things we receive. However, he still finds a way to give us what we need and more. How many of you know that you don’t deserve the things you have, but God still supplies your needs, and He does this because He loves us, and He does this because He knows we are in need. That’s the kind of God we serve, a loving God willing to help us through our unfaithfulness, but don’t take his love for granted know that we must be obedient to him at all times.
***Today we talked about seeking God daily and about how he’s always there for us even if we don’t deserve it, seeking God daily is what we must do to stay connected with him and I know prayer time can be a lot but that’s what we must do to seek him is seek him through prayer . God wants to us to come to him daily for what we need. Still, some of us don’t want to because we feel we can handle life on our own, but we can’t. My friend, I can’t handle this life without him. I need him more than anything in this world.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me
We must seek him diligently and that’s how we will find him, because we are doing it regardless and we do this by prayer and reading our word, praising him we do this every day, the Holy Spirit is trying to tell us today when we seek God we will see his glory when we seek God we will get an answer but it’s not when we want to it’s when God wants to a lot of us our seeking and looking but we aren’t seeking and looking right we must seek him diligently every day and when we do this we will find him! ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
Heavenly Father, we thank you for today we ask you to help us to seek you every day lord we are thankful for everything you have given us we ask lord that you’ll hear our voice and help us to be like you lord we ask you to forgive us of our sins we have done in Jesus’ name Amen
Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart
+ Psalm 9:10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you
+ Psalm 34:10 The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing
