Exodus 16:1-5, 9-15 / Matthew 13:1-9     

God is all-loving, and He cares for us and provides for us.

That is our faith in God who is our Father.

And God our Father sent us Jesus to be our greatest blessing.

Jesus is our Saviour and in Him and through Him, we receive God’s abundant blessings.

As much as God wants to bless us abundantly, we must be receptive to His blessings.

Because we can resist God’s blessings when we are too concerned with what we want instead of what He is giving us.

In the 1st reading, the Israelites complained about their discomfort and the uncertainty of survival in the desert.

They didn’t quite believe that God cares for them and will provide for them.

We too have our concerns and uncertainties about life.

But let our hearts not be hardened or thorny with complaints.

Let us always choose to see God’s blessings in every situation and we will receive God’s blessings.

God always blesses those who put their faith and trust in Him.
