In a place of food scarcity, what “feeds” the Israelite’s grumbling? How does God respond to their complaints? How does God’s provision of manna shed light on the Kingdom of God in relationship to food and hunger? What might God say about our unequal distribution of food and our extremes of food scarcity and over-indulgence? What do you think God would want us to do?
If you suddenly had no access to food, what would you miss most? How would you feel about eating the same food every day for weeks and weeks? The people of Israel were grateful for the manna initially, but got tired of it quickly. How can you remain grateful for God’s provision even if the provision isn’t exactly what you wanted?
