Notes

Exodus 16:35

until they came to a land: God’s care for us is normally demonstrated in ordinary ways, as it would usually be for Israel after they arrived in Canaan (see Joshua 5:10–12). That care is just as real as when it comes in extraordinary ways, as it did while Israel was in the wilderness.

Exodus 16:32–36

The container of manna was to be preserved as a reminder of God’s providential care for his people. He is powerful and deeply caring. Not only can he supply our needs, he wants to do so.

Exodus 16:1–36

God demonstrated care for his people by providing manna and quail as food for them.

Exodus 15:22–18:27

On the journey from the sea to Mount Sinai, God continued to care for the people's needs. During the events where he rescued them, he showed his power. Here, he showed that he cares about their basic needs.
