2 Corinthians 8:15 (NKJV) 15 As it is written, \u201cHe who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, he was dealing with a massive multitude of people! Most estimates put that number at well over 2 million people. Feeding them would be no small feat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But God had promised to take care of them, supplying their food for them each day. He did this by supplying them with manna. The manna would fall from the sky at night, while they were asleep. In the morning, they would go out and gather what they needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God had given them very specific instructions about how much to gather; only enough to feed their family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This was a test for them. Would they trust God and gather only what they needed? Or would they disobey God\u2019s instructions and hoard the manna, saving some just in case God didn\u2019t come through?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The thing is that God was already prepared for them, no matter which path they chose to take in this. He\u2019s God, so He knew what some of them would do before they ever did it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The verse above says that those who gathered much had no surplus. And those who gathered little had no lack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, the people who thought maybe they could gather up extra and cover themselves, just in case God didn\u2019t come through, ended up with no extra. But those who trusted God and gathered only a little never came up short!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You see, God is a great equalizer. When we trust Him, He will take care of us. It\u2019s just the way He operates. If we are diligent in putting Him first and trusting Him with everything, He has these incredible ways of working things out for us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we fail to trust in Him, He isn\u2019t sitting in heaven waiting to strike us down. But it\u2019s safe to say that we may not end up as well off as we wanted to believe that we would.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Psalm 37:3 (NKJV) 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
