No Gumball Answers Then a wind from the Lord sprang up, and it brought quail from the sea and let them fall beside the camp. Numbers 11:31 The first ever reference to a vending machine was from the work of Hero of Alexandria (c. AD 10-70). You may be surprised to know it was designed to dispense holy water. Over the years, the popularity of vending machines has grown steadily. Now you can attain anything from gumballs to plastic rings to canned drinks and snacks. Why the popularity? People like instant gratification. While wandering in the wilderness, God provided the Israelites manna each day. But the people complained to Moses because they wanted meat. Like so many children aiming for the golden vending machine prize, the Israelites were dissatisfied with God’s provision and asked for more. The Lord sent so much quail, it took two whole days to gather it. He provided, but soon His anger burned against them. Prayer cannot be treated like coin-operated machines. God doesn’t work that way, but He will come alongside you if you ask. Take your concerns for the nation and its leaders to your Heavenly Father. Be assured He will be with you. Just remain grateful, and don’t expect Him to dispense answers like gumballs. The Presidential Prayer Teams
