When you’ve had a tough time, expecting and believing for good things only to be let down and disappointed, it seems like trust issues are just an everyday way of life. When God sent Moses to deliver His people from the hand of Pharaoh, all they had known up to that point was just the stories that had been told to them, passed down from one generation to the next.
Then, God delivers them supernaturally by parting the Red Sea and allowing them to cross on dry land! All along the way, almost from the beginning of their journey, they would complain and make negative confessions concerning God’s faithfulness. But, God was faithful and, of course, kept His word. One of the most obvious examples of God’s constant faithfulness on behalf of His people was the bread from heaven; the manna. God provided the manna until the day after they had eaten the produce of the land of Canaan! Every day, they literally were fed by God’s faithfulness.
You may have reasons to doubt that good things will come to you. Perhaps, you have been disappointed in the past; let down by promises not kept. Like the children of Israel, God delivered you from the hand of the enemy, but still those trust issues linger and keep trying to get you down and doubting.
But, as long as you trust in the Lord and do what He says to do, He will never leave you and He will fulfill His good word which He has given to you. There will be plenty of times when you cannot make it on your own and it may seem like the Lord has forgotten His promises to you. Rest assured, He never forgets and He never forsakes you. These are the times when all you have is the manna. These are the times when you feed on His faithfulness!
