* The manna was done and now the Israelites were to feed themselves differently.

* Part of maturing is how you feed yourself.

* This is about WHAT and HOW:

* WHAT:

* Babies are fed milk. Crawlers are fed baby food. Toddlers are fed a mix of both.

* Adolescents eat what tastes good, teens start to think about it more, adults fully embrace healthy lifestyles.

* HOW:

* Babies, crawlers, and toddlers don’t feed themselves - mom and dad have to do that.

* Adolescents and teens can eat on their own, but they don’t prepare it.

* Adults have to shop, fix, and eat their own food.

* The same is true with our spiritual walk.

* WHAT are you eating and HOW are you eating it?

* Eating a steady diet of your own choice of music and lots of TV? You’re being a kid.

* Do you require a preacher to explain everything to you or are you capable of studying things on your own?
