Moses said, "I'm standing here surrounded by 600,000 men on foot and you say, 'I'll give them meat, meat every day for a month.' So where's it coming from? Even if all the flocks and herds were butchered, would that be enough? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough?"
God answered Moses, "So, do you think I can't take care of you? You'll see soon enough whether what I say happens for you or not."
For me, its really easy just to stick with the new testament... having this mind set that the old testment is just boring history that we hear every week at church.. but honestly, hearing this changed my perspective. freshmen year we focused on new testament and all of the history that went along with that, but renewing my perspecitive of that and replacing it with a sense of application, makes me encouraged to read it more often.
This passage is basically God telling moses " are you freaking kidding me, you think that I cant take care of you." haha obviously this is discussing his power to give them the meat they want, but to be honest I question God of a lot of things that I shouldnt. Moses, a strong follower of Christ, was doubting him and his abilities to feed them, do you find yourself guilty of that too? Everyday finding myself unwilling or incapable to get through something or conquer even the little things all lead back to this passage; therefore, confirming Gods capabilities.
