We went live from Bullard, Texas and I recapped our weekend at First Baptist Church Tyler, where we visited ahead of the Ladies Conference on April 17–18 (Callie will sing and I'm teaching Psalm 23, "He Restores My Soul"). I also shared how we celebrated Callie's birthday with bakery stops and family dinners, and I reminded everyone about our Deep in the Heart Ministries men's conference in Tyler on Feb. 28. I taught from Exodus 16 about Israel grumbling in the wilderness and God providing quail and manna with daily instructions. I emphasized that God doesn't lead us out of bondage to let us starve, that testing develops faith, that rebellious hearts ignore simple instructions, that God's provisions aren't to be hoarded (including spiritually), that we're responsible to use what God provides, and that God's patience is unmatched. I connected the manna story to depending on God's Word daily (Deuteronomy 8). We'll be back in two weeks on March 2!
