Scripture lesson: Joshua 5:10-12 A promise fulfilled and another no longer needed

Time to Reflect: Once the Israelites were able to grow their own crops, God let the Manna solution lapse – no longer needed. They were in the “Promised Land” at last. They had had many doubts and struggles with God, but God fulfilled the promises regardless. It is significant that the first thing they did once they had a crop was worship God.

Moving Through the Day: Whenever things work out well do you remember to thank God? Thank God now for any blessings in your life.

Scripture:  

On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover. 11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain. 12 The manna stopped the day after [a] they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate of the produce of Canaan.
