1 Corinthians 10:3-4
And all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
God gave all of Israel the same Spiritual food and drink from the rock that was Christ. What a gift to receive, how many people accepted those gifts?
Albert Barnes asks about these verses, “To what degree do you revel in the spiritual privileges that God has given you?” “Do you ponder the wonder that out of all the people in the history of the world, God chose of His own initiative to save you?”
Half way through Lent we could probably use some help remembering that God has afforded us the same gifts he gave to the Israelites. Are you able to accept God’s gifts?
