Traveling through the wilderness is not a new experience for believers of God. Whether we arrive there due to our own sin, the sin of someone else, or if God is preparing us for something better, this is a training ground for trust. Just as Israel had to trust God to faithfully provide in a barren land, we can look to the Lord to give us our daily bread when we don't understand how He will meet our needs. In the book of Numbers, God continues to point to the greater priest and the sacrifice to come: Jesus Christ.
