SUFFICIENCY AND EXCESS
Paul used the example of manna to make the point that God will provide just what each person needs, and no more. No one in Moses' time could keep extra manna around because it would rot, become worm-infested, and demonstrate a lack of trust in God. Like manna, grace cannot be stored up for the future. That would lessen our dependence on God for our "daily bread."
Similarly, when we try to store up our material possessions and ignore others who have little or nothing, we are violating God's call for us to use what we need and share the rest. God blesses us with what He knows we need and asks us to use the extra "plenty" to supply those who don't have enough.
The way we handle our money is a gauge of our affections. Generous giving demonstrates to our children that we see our resources as God's rather than our own.
Be a model of generosity, trust, and dependence on God.
