Exodus 16:24 So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it.
I have a deep need to understand things. If you do something differently than I do, I’m probably going to ask you about it. The intent is not to imply that my way is best. The intent is to understand your way and to see if I should be doing things differently. I think a lot of people misunderstand my intentions when it comes to this tendency.
Exodus 16:25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today.
Commentary implies that those who are surprised when the double portion gathered on Saturday doesn’t stink or get maggots (unlike what happened in verse 20) and those who go out to gather on Sunday (even though the Lord said there would be no manna) were not trusting God, that they had to personally experience it to take it as truth. Maybe they were just trying to understand.
Exodus 16:26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.”
Precious Savior, You created me exactly as I am, curious and inquisitive, tender-hearted, enthusiastic, compassionate, a little awkward, hitting every single high and low in life. Help me to love myself as You created me and to use who I am to bring You glory. Help me to accept others as they are as well. Amen.
Exodus 16:27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none.
Have a blessed day.
