Then the Lord said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions?" Exodus 16:28
Some people just need to learn things the hard way. Moses was very clear with his instructions to the people; God had been very clear with him. The manna was for one day only. On the day before the Sabbath, more was gathered, and it would last for two days. But still, some had to learn the hard way. The manna that was kept for the next week day spoiled, and on the seventh day there was no manna to be gathered.
Moses grew angry. God grew angry.
Lord, as a parent I understand Your frustration. Some lessons are not easily learned by our children. They push the limits. They try to follow their own thoughts rather than our instructions.
I am the same. So many times in life, Your instructions are clear to me, yet I choose to learn the hard way. Help me, Father, to obey Your word. Help me to willingly accept Your instruction. Teach me to follow You.
