Do you ever find yourself grumbling
at or about someone who you felt brought about discomfort in your life? The people of God did this very thing when
they grumbled to Moses and Aaron about their situation in the dessert. They had
little to sustain them in the dessert and hadn’t the faith to call on God for help.
This is the people who actually walked through walls of water a few days
prior. This is the people who saw the
power of God revealed in plagues and the miraculous salvation of their very
selves when His angel of death passed them by, because they were His. The
pettiness of our day to day seems almost irrelevant to these moments, yet, we
all do it. We all find that instance of blaming another for our moment,
grumbling at them or about them, and thinking “really, you brought THIS to me
today?” In these times, let’s remember that it is not the messenger we should
address, but our Father, our God, who is truly the source of all of moments.
When you embrace His Will in faithful obedience, you will find your grumblings
melt into praise.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven
for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In
this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. –
Exodus 16:4
