The God Who Provides (9 of 16)
Series: Exodus

Exodus 16-17
Intro/Attention
This morning, we come to Exodus 16-17 as we study this Old Testament book in a sermon series I'm preaching called, Who Is This God? Today, from these two chapters, I'm preaching on this subject: The God Who Provides.
Remember, God raised up a prophet named Moses to deliver His people from slavery in Egypt. They were miraculously delivered by the blood of the Lamb and through the parting waters of the Red Sea. Now, they are learning what it means to follow God and trust in Him.
But we notice something a bit disheartening. Even after seeing mighty miracles of God, the Israelites still doubt, fight, grumble, and complain. If you remember at the end of chapter 15, we saw God's people grumble against Moses at ''Marah.'' God not only performed a miracle there, He led them to ''Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees.'' God can provide for us even beyond what we can imagine. In these next two chapters we will see once again how God miraculously provides for His people. READ 16:1-12; 17:1-7
*A poll recently taken by a nutrition foundation questioned 27,500 children ages five to sixteen about the origins of food. The results were stunning; and kind of funny. Almost a third of primary students think cheese comes from plants. Roughly 25% think fish sticks come from chicken or pig. 10% think tomatoes grow underground. There's also confusion about items like pasta and bread. Almost a third of kids ages five to eight years old believe that pasta comes from meat. 19% of this age group didn't realize potatoes grew underground with 10% thinking they grew on bushes or trees.*
Now to me, this is kind of funny, because I have a bit of a farming background. Not only have I seen where all of this stuff comes from, I've harvested some of it myself. We should offer field trips to farms for elementary school kids. Apparently, that would be very eye- ...
