Remember: The Bible tells how the people gathered just enough bread, one morning at a time, and learned to trust that more would come.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Hungry in the wildernessAfter the sea, the people walked into the wilderness, a dry, wild land with no farms or shops. Their food ran out, and they grumbled to Moses and Aaron that they were hungry. God said he would rain down bread from heaven, and each day the people must gather just enough. That evening quail flew in, and everyone had meat for supper. In the morning dew lay around the camp, and when it dried up, small thin flakes lay on the ground, like frost. This bread is called manna. Some people saved extra in a jar, but by morning it had spoiled. On the sixth day they gathered double, and it kept fresh. On the seventh day they rested, and there was none to find.
