The
people spoke against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to
die in the wilderness? For there is no
food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food.”
Numbers
21:5
We
have all been there. Things aren’t going
the way we think they should, so we complain to God. We may be struggling financially or with
unruly kids or we may be suffering from a severe case of, “Why me?” It doesn’t matter what it is that sets us
off, once we start complaining to God, it’s hard to stop. So, what do we do?
We
can remember that it is human nature to whine about what we think is not right
in life. And, remember that God has
promised to provide everything we need, plus the desires of our heart. Then we can trust God and thank Him for His
never ending love and care.
After
all, God saw fit to deliver the Israelite to the promise land and they were
serial whiners. Why not me, too?
