Question: What else did the Lord give to the Israelites besides manna when they were in the desert?
Road map to the answer:

In my devotion time, I took a moment to read & meditate on Colossians 3:1-17.
The Lord has been for quite some time explaining to me the dangers of ruining our witness… I think that many of us believe that unbelievers are so naive that they cannot “discern” the contents of our lives.
The Bible tells us in John 13:34-35 that those who live by and operate in the Royal Law are whereby known as Jesus’s disciples.
Along with that, should come a shift in our minds and mindset. If we are then dead with Christ and now alive in Him there are some spiritual realities that we must tap into and abide in that will carry His DNA in a way that produces an outward manifestation.
By no means would I advise anyone to attempt to RUSH their process with God however I believe that there are far too many “saints” who’ve been in God for decades and are still making excuses for the same challenges they REFUSE to lay themselves on the altar for!
Today’s reading reminds me that there is ALWAYS A WORK to be done. Not a work of striving but a work of SUBMITTING & YIELDING to the Spirit of Perfection that worketh on the inside of me!

This chapter was so RICH! As I read I took note of the disobedience exemplified by the people of God during a “TEST” of God!
We as believers don’t like to identify when we are indeed being tested by God but as I read this exact chapter in multiple translations the conclusion was the same! God was TESTING their hearts.
It’s so imperative to discern that the spirit be of God because Moses spoke to the Israelites as God! His instructions were not his own and therefore they carried not only an authoritative weight but they delegated the movement of God.
During this time, I noticed that the people picked and chose what they wanted to “OBEY”. In some instances, they listened and in others they totally disregarded Moses’ delegated authority.
As I conclude this summary of my meditation in this chapter, I can’t help but see the GOODNESS OF GOD! God’s goodness has a PROTOCOL, and it’s one that’s simple yet complex… OBEDIENCE!
What about this chapter stood out to you? @Everyone
