Each table has a miracle Read the passage and answer the following questions about that miracle: • What was the problem/hardship facing the Israelites? • What did they say to Moses? What was their attitude? • What did the Lord provide? • What did the Lord teach them through this miracle? • How does the miracle symbolize Christ and how He helps us through trials? • What similar trials might you go through? • How can you approach the Lord and how will He provide?

The Lord is patient and merciful • We are fortunate that the Lord will continue to teach us and guide us even when we struggle repeatedly. • Hopefully we won’t have such a short attention span as the Israelites, but we will test the patience of the Lord. • He is merciful and will take every opportunity to teach, especially if we are humble.
