So I prepared a church service focusing on Exodus 16:2-4, 9 - 16, the passage where God provides Manna for the Israelites.
In my preperation I came accros a reflection by Thom M Shuman in a book 'Bare Feet and Buttercups' - Ruth Burgess. In it he reflects on how great God's provision for us is. How God provides us with Manna, he refelcts on a box of treasures which he has collected that point to times when God has provided.
In our service today we thought about our Manna Boxes and the things they contain. Pointers to times of God's provision.
