Exodus 16-22: God Our Leader And Savoir

Here we are brought up with the theme of trust. The people of Israel start talking against Moses and Aaron. This was all because they were hungry and were in the wilderness. This brought up in my mind a question. What would I do if I were a person of Israel and was being led by Moses and Aaron? What I would do is to wait and trust them for some while, but if I see that things are getting really bad and we are far away from salvation if we keep following them I would part ways and look for another place. Finally God sends down mana from the heavens. This really shows a direct relationship between humans and God. Humans depend on God. This is clearly seen here because these people were helpless because they couldn’t find food and water and God heard them and sent down mana. Without God we would probably die because he gives us protection and everything we have is thanks to him. The water, the cattle, everything in the world belongs to him because he created this. Also I think God uses the humans as messengers. The people we have seen so far that are the destined one or God’s favorites to spread the word and be safe are: Abraham, Noah, and Moses. Sometimes I wander how would life be without a God? Will we all be as we are today? We as human beings and every living thing in the world depend on God to survive.
