Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Forgiveness & Mercy

DAY 20 OF 31

August 20

Introduction

After leaving the oasis in Elim, the people complain to Moses and Aaron about the lack of food. God hears their complaints and provides them with bread and meat.

Today’s Scripture: Exodus 16:7a

[Moses and Aaron said:] “In the morning you will see the dazzling light of the LORD’s presence.”

Today’s Reading 

Exodus 16:1-21

Reflect

What did the people say to Moses and Aaron (verse 3)? Against whom were the people really complaining (verse 8)? What instructions were the people given for gathering food? What happened when those instructions were not followed? God said that the people would be tested

to see if they followed God’s instructions (verse 4). Have you ever experienced being tested by God?

Pray

Gracious God, you provide for my daily needs, both physically and spiritually. Nourish me today with your precious Word and teach me to be obedient to your will. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are hungry

Tomorrow’s Reading

Exodus 16:22-36: The Israelites observe the Sabbath.
