Break your manna

GDP(Gross Domestic Product)
15,609.6 billion dollars is U.S.A's GDP. 6.5 billion is entire population of the earth. Let's divide it. Wow! From infants to grandparents could get 2401 dollars each. But, why there are too many poor people?

Top 10 countries have more than 51,873 billion dollars as GDP. If we shared this 51,873 billion dollars with 6.5 billion people, each person would get 7980 dollars! 

What do I want to talk? I want to talk about 'theory of manna.' Exodus 16, God gave Israel manna to feed them. 

=======Exodus 16: 16 - : 20
This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Each one is to gather as much as he needs. Take an omer for each person you have in your tent.' "
The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little.
And when they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered as much as he needed.
Then Moses said to them, "No one is to keep any of it until morning."
However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.


All the people there could get manna as much as they needed. It's God's plan. However, what is happened there? Some of them didn't follow God's plan. What's that? Daily bread is enough to each person but some of them want to be richer among them. They then got more than others. God and Moses got angry so made manna full of maggots. Did you get some ideas? 

Many young Christians asked me, "Why there is not enough food in the world?" Are you kidding? God already gave all to people. But some of us got more than others. The problem is not God. We're corrupted.
