Bible Talk

Exodus 16 :)
The Israelite's went to a new land, where there was no food or water, all of the people were complaining to Aaron and Noah about the lack of food that they were being provided. The Lord told Noah to tell all of the people that they should be complaining to the Lord, and not to them (This could be right here, a direction towards politics, don't complain to the person, but complain to the Lord, or take it up with the Lord, and ask him why.. instead of fighting with people.. but then again.. only if they are following Gods plan.. ehh who knows.) then the Lord also told Noah to tell the people that everyday they will be given food, they must gather just as much as they needed for five days, they were not allowed to keep the food overnight&on the sixth day they were instructed to gather twice as much, because on the seventh day would be the day of rest. The first time the people did not listen they kept the food overnight, and the food grew maggots and a horrible odor this did not make Noah or the Lord very happy. Also, another time the people didn't listen was when they still tried to gather food on the seventh day. This made the Lord angry, because he had provided enough food for two days, and had instructed the people to take the food for two days. He did this for the people so that they would have time to rest.
-To me again this just means.. that you really need to listen to the Lord.
P.s. I think it is really funny how this message came up in my 30days to live, and in my bible reading tonight.. :) God has a funny way of doing that!
