God gave the Israelites rules so He can protect vulnerable people and change the way the Israelites are living to be such a way that honors God and loves others. While some of these rules won't apply to us today, the intention behind them still does.

When reading the Bible, it is important to remember that Jesus is King and context is everything. God made rules regarding the things He did because of how the Israelites operated and lived during the time of the Bible. However, Jesus came in the New Testament to change the way we live and how we love.

So we can live in a way that properly honors God, God gave Moses and the Israelites a set of ten commandments that still hold true today.

God wants to be close to us, but since this is the Old Testament, before Jesus closed the gap between Himself and our sins, the Israelites cannot directly talk to God.

It's important to use wisdom and not overexert yourself when you are put in charge of an organization of any size. This chapter shows you a Godly way to do that!

As the Israelites are led out of Egypt, God keeps providing for their needs. In the same way, when we are doing something that God has called us to do, He will provide for our needs.

Exodus 16 reminds us that God provides one day at a time. He doesn't reveal the journey, but He gives us what we need to take the next step.

It is important to remember that God is with us always. Also, we need to thank Him when He helps us get through bad times, just like the Israelites do because God helped them cross the Red Sea.

When God was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, they were all forced to believe God one step at a time. This one step led them to miracles like God parting the Red Sea so they can safely pass through and lose the Egyptians for good.

God is finally bringing the Israelites out of Egypt, and along the way He will make them all dependent on the true God.
