The Lord blessed them with manna and instructed them to gather it every morning except on the Sabbath. The children of Israel also murmured because of thirst. The Lord commanded Moses to strike a rock in Horeb so that water would come forth. Exodus 16 The Israelites murmur for food, and the Lord sends quail and bread from heaven Read Exodus 16:1–3, looking for the problem the children of Israel encountered as they continued on their journey to the promised land. Remember that murmur means to complain. It may also be helpful to know that “flesh pots” (Exodus 16:3) refers to pots of meat.

Based on what Moses and Aaron taught the people, whom are we really murmuring, or complaining, against when we murmur against Church leaders?

Answer the following question in your scripture study journal: What spiritual lessons can we learn from the Lord’s instructions to the Israelites about manna?

Image Christofferson, D. Todd As you read the following statement from Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, look for and underline what he taught were the Lord’s reasons for giving the children of Israel food one day at a time: “By providing a daily sustenance, one day at a time, Jehovah was trying to teach faith to a nation that over a period of some 400 years had lost much of the faith of their fathers. He was teaching them to trust Him, to ‘look unto [Him] in every thought; doubt not, fear not’ (D&C 6:36). He was providing enough for one day at a time. Except for the sixth day, they could not store manna for use in any succeeding day or days. In essence, the children of Israel had to walk with Him today and trust that He would grant a sufficient amount of food for the next day on the next day, and so on. In that way He could never be too far from their minds and hearts” (“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” [Church Educational System fireside address, Jan. 9, 2011]; LDS.org). One of the principles we can learn from the Lord’s instructions about manna is that as we remember the Lord daily, our trust in Him will grow.

Answer the following question in your scripture study journal: Why would remembering and seeking the Lord only one day a week fail to provide adequately for our spiritual needs throughout the rest of the week?

Todd Christofferson explains that just as the Israelites gathered manna daily to sustain their lives, we need daily spiritual nourishment. This video can be found on LDS.org.

In Exodus 16:32–36 we read that Moses commanded Aaron to place some manna in a pot so it could serve as a testimony, or reminder, for future generations of the Lord’s physical deliverance of the children of Israel and the need for Israel to rely on the Lord for spiritual sustenance. Later this pot was put in the ark of the covenant. The Lord continued to bless the children of Israel with manna as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
