******************************
Demanding Mana - 8
My daily needs and desires, where is my sin where I doubt God?
Where do I want deliverance from pain?
Are my desires at the place where they start to get between God and I
Entitlements;
Comfort - having a time of decompression at the end of the day - danger: if marriage should come I will probably get ticked if this time is taken away
Testing
Why does God test us? - So my heart is made obvious and I see if I am close to him or not close to Him
Is familiarity an Idol of Mine?

God is still faithful when the people complain
Food and Meat are provided, because he is a good father - "Eat to your full"
He would have given food even if no one ask
When the people gather and then save some, were they chosing to go little hungry to test God?

Lack of Trust
Israel didn't believe God would provide - They hoarded
They starved themselves intentionally so they could save some for the morrow
How Do I starve myself of good so I can be God?
Jesus' Wisdom
The followers wanted more food after the feeding of the 5k
The people's religion is worthless and Jesus says the bread came from God not Moses


QUESTION - What did James mean when he asked how do we starve ourselves?

IS GOD ENOUGH FOR ME?
