We're starting a 3-week series on complaining. When we're trying to grow spiritually, it is okay to complain to God and ask for His help so we can enjoy giving up things we love.

8414. Verses 4-5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I am causing it to rain bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out and gather the thing of a day in its day, 1 in order that I may test them [to see] whether they walk in My law or not. And it shall be on the sixth day, that they are to prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be double to what they shall gather day by day.

'And Jehovah said to Moses' means comfort from the Lord. 'Behold, I am causing it to rain bread from heaven for you' means that heavenly good will flow in. 'And the people will go our means the consequent life. 'And gather the thing of a day in its day' means continually, in proportion to need. 'In order that I may test them' means that from this it will be discovered ... 'Whether they walk in My law or not' means, whether they can lead a life of truth and good. 'And it shall be on the sixth day' means at the end of each state. 'That they are to prepare what they have brought in' means setting in order forms of good that have been assimilated. 'And it shall be double to what they shall gather day by day' means that they are to be joined together.
