"The time that Israel spent in the wilderness was challenging, and it did not draw out their best behavior. Many of them seemed like professional complainers, viewing themselves as customers of God rather than as people called to fulfill God’s plans. Unfortunately, they complained about God’s provision more than they praised Him for it. This is still a problem
today, isn’t it? When God provides in a way we don’t like or want, we become frustrated rather than thankful. We are not customers of God; we are His children and the builders of His Kingdom. In our reading today, we see a very tough response from God to this complaining, to people who always see something wrong, and expect God to make them happy. Our attitudes toward God should not be taken lightly. We should take cues from the book of Psalms that tells us repeatedly to Praise the LORD. This gets our attention off ourselves and onto what we know to be true: That we have a God who is good, and who loves us.
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways."
