Paul says in Philippians 4:19, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”  This was true back in the days of the wilderness wanderings after the exodus from Egypt.  And it is still true today.  But like the Israelites we sometimes forget this wonderful promise and complain and grumble like they did.  But there is no need to do that God already knows what we need before we even ask him (Matt 6:8).  This should encourage us to leave it in the Lord’s hands.  But, if you are anything like me, this is easier said than done.  However, it is a good reminder about how God loves us and takes care of us, even to our most basic needs (like water and food).  A good lesson from Exodus!
