Basic Scripture Today 14th August 2025 BASIC SCRIPTURES: NUMBERS 11:4-9; 18-20 Prayer points and Declarations

Scripture Reading: Numbers 11:4-9; 18-20 (NKJV)

4 Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat?
5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.
8 The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.
9 And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.

18 Then you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.
19 You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
20 but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?”’

Devotional Bible Study

Title: The Danger of Craving What God Has Not Ordained

1. The Sin of Ingratitude (vv. 4-6)

   • The Israelites despised God’s miraculous provision (manna) and longed for Egypt’s food.

   • Lesson: When we focus on what we lack instead of God’s faithfulness, we open doors to discontentment.

2. God’s Faithful Provision (vv. 7-9)

   • Manna was supernatural—versatile, nourishing, and daily. Yet, they called it “nothing.”

   • Lesson: God’s blessings are often simple but sufficient. Do we undervalue them?

3. The Consequences of Rebellion (vv. 18-20)

   • God gave them meat but also judgment—their craving became a curse.

   • Lesson: Getting what we want outside God’s will can bring destruction (Psalm 106:15).
