COMPLAINTS OF THE UNGRATEFUL

NUMBERS 11:4-6, 10-23

 

Key Concept:

Complaining shows our ungratefulness about God's provision.

After Moses finished setting up the tabernacle and consecrating all that was needed per God's instructions, the Israelites celebrated their second Passover, the anniversary of their deliverance from Egypt. Perhaps as they celebrated the Passover, instead of remembering all that God has done, their spirit and their appetite led them to think about what they were missing. They had been eating manna daily through God's provision. But now in Numbers 11, the people complained to Moses that they were tired of manna and wanted meat.

As you examine Numbers 11:4-6, 10-23:

✞   Note that our complaints against God provoke Him to anger.

     

✞   Contemplate ways we can show our gratitude to the God Who provides for our daily 

    needs and our greatest need in sending His Son to be our Savior.
