As the Israelites struggled to adapt to their new life in the wilderness with God, we saw in Exodus 15:22-16:30 how God was at working to mold them as His people. He molded Israel through listening to them, providing for them, refining them, and renewing them; and He does the same works through us today. This molding work continues in Exodus 16:31-17:16, as we’ll see how God molds us as His people by growing our reliance on Him & our remembrance of Him.
