Text: Hebrews 9:1-10 Today we are looking at the Holy of Holies and in particular the Golden Jar of Manna. (see also Exodus 16) God has personal involvement with the lives of his people. We see the children of Israel complaining about hunger to the point of wanting to return to Egypt. The Lord takes care of them by providing Manna from Heaven. The Children of Israel were tested to see if they would collect more manna than they needed. In Philippians 4 we see more on the provision of God. In the new Testament we see the believer's responsibility is to be anxious for nothing. To be anxious is to sin. We are instead to be in prayer and supplication in thanksgiving, letting our requests be known to God. The anxity of this world takes us away from the things listed in vs. 8-9. In verse 10 we see this is a process that does not happen instantly . The world is looking to grab as much as it can from life now because they think that this life is all there is. As believers we are to be content in whatever state that we are in whether it be a lot or a little. We are not to be content with things of this world but only through Christ.
