They lacked nothing;
Their clothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell. – Nehemiah 9.21
Not only did God meet the spiritual needs of the people, He also met their physical needs. He provided manna. He provided water. They lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out. And, I love this, their feet did not swell.
God took care of everyone in the nation as they travelled. He continued to meet their needs even as they turned from Him.
This world is so wicked and so full of sin that God would have been righteous and just and holy if He had just decided to wipe it all out. The world has rejected God and all that He stands for. It has rejected His ways and His plans. God has offered light and the world chooses darkness.
God is a God of patience who regularly pours out His goodness even when people don’t deserve it.
God is good and kind and loving and patient and providing. Man still rejects Him. I am grateful that He is who is and not like man. I am grateful that He provides even when we don’t deserve it.
