I saw an easy way to make elephant toothpaste without having to buy stronger hydrogen peroxide (not exactly every dad‘s dream to have dangerous chemicals around his daughters!). The reaction was DEFINITELY supposed to be bigger than that though! Sometimes things don’t work out as planned through no fault of our own, and sometimes they don’t work out because someone (me!) didn’t carefully follow the directions. Oops! I probably should’ve actually measured each ingredient because the results kinda stunk…in more ways than one!
Exodus 16 tells about manna, the delicious supernatural food God provided for Israel while they were in the wilderness. The Israelites knew their job: Gather enough manna for one day at a time. Verse 20 says, “Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.” God faithfully provided plenty; they just had to trust His provision, not their own efforts.
Sometimes life kinda stinks through no fault of our own and we just need to keep going and keep trusting God. Other times, life kinda stinks because of our own wrong choices. In those times it’s simple: Better choices will bring better results. Let’s trust God and follow His instructions and plan today.
