“God gave manna every day and commanded that that each person take just one omer for themselves. God did this to ensure that not one person among the Israelites could gain power through collecting a surplus of manna and thereby rule and exploit others. God is not pleased by a world in which material riches create power and discrimination. Therefore, the church, as a community of God’s people must reform prejudicial systems and pursue giving and sharing, so that our communal society can be one that is neither excessive nor insufficient.”
“There was people who broke God’s command and kept some manna till the morning. These people believed that their lives were sustained by the ‘manna’, not by God. Do we not also believe that our ample assets, rather than God, secure for us a steady future?”
