Exodus 16: 3: "And the children of Israel said to them, 'Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'" Talk about what have you done for me lately! God had performed ten plagues against the Egyptians to bring about their deliverance, plus dividing the Red Sea. A couple of things strike me about their complaint. First, they were totally ungrateful. Second, they were most disrespectful. Third, they were focusing on their flesh. God Almighty had caused them to be set free and now they complain. I wonder how often we act the same way. The Lord Jesus Christ has died for us, risen from the dead for us, ascended to heaven for us, and makes intercession for us. Yet, we may be complaining about the temperature, the price of gasoline or our families. We should go about our days rejoicing because of what Christ has done for us. He is doing so much for us every day! Be thankful.
