Two months after the Israelites left Egypt, they began to complain to Moses and Aaron about their hunger. So, God spoke to Moses and promised that He would send the Israelites food. He would be their provider. That evening, God sent quail to the camp to provide the Israelites with meat. The next morning, the Israelites discovered fine flakes on the ground. They named the flakes manna, and each person could gather as much as they needed. Read more about manna in Exodus 16:31. Talk about ways God has provided for your family.
