Exodus 16 - Israel complains again, of hunger. God gives manna - daily bread - no more.
Jesus is our bread from heaven.
Apply - we should not grasp for more than God gives us. Jesus is enough.
Exodus 17 - the third complaint, over water. God gives water from the rock. Amalek attacks, but God gives victory through Moses' raised hands.
Jesus is the rock from which we get water (1 Corinthians 10:5)
Apply - trust God in thirsty times. Jesus will intercede for victory for you with His raised hands.
Exodus 18 - Israel comes to Jethro, Moses' father-in-law. Moses had sent his wife back to him! For her safety? Jethro gives good advice before God gives the law, next.
Jesus orders Israel by 50s and 100s when He feeds them in the wilderness, too.
Apply - there is common sense wisdom in the world, alongside God's special revelation by His Word.
