Lessons from Life’s Desert:
Lessons in the Power of Provision
Exodus 16
Rev. Todd Forrest
God is calling his people to trust him by trusting his authority over our lives to live in His powerful provision.
–My response to adversity shows my source of trust
1. They were blinded by their need (food) and missed what God had given them (relationship)
a. We must stop measuring life by the world and begin to measure it by faith
–The provision of God seals his authority over everything
1. God’s plan that is greater than our crisis
2. God’s plan is not for us to suffer, but to look to him in our suffering
–God provides with detail and abundance
1. God’s plan goes beyond provision to abundance
2. Abundance is defined by God’s plan, not the world
