If you read the whole chapter, it talks about how God dealt with the nation of Israel. It talks about the signs, the wonders, and the miracles that God did to set them free from bondage and to take care of them in the wilderness. God defended the Israelites, He fed them; He met their every need. He was the Source of everything they needed because He was honoring the covenant that He made with Abraham. The Bible tells us that God doesn’t change (Malachi 3:6). The same way that God took care of His people is the same way He wants to take care of all of us who are His children. In order for us to experience God’s provision, we must put our trust and dependency on Him. What must obey His Word and we must look to Him as our Source, not our jobs, or our education or anything else. God delights in prospering His people, but we must put ourselves in a position for Him to do that. We must not be like the Israelites. The Bible says that they limited God (Psalm 78:41). God wanted to do so much more, but their unbelief and unwillingness to put their trust in God caused them to miss out on God’s best for them. Let’s learn from the Israelites. Let's not hinder God, let’s trust Him and walk in all that He has for us, let’s walk in God’s best!
