Exodus 16

2 In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, "If only we had died by the LORD's hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death."

Israel was back again doing what Israel did well – moaning and groaning looking only at the natural, and completely forgetting, once again, the gracious and miraculous provision that God had repeatedly made for them. They were even starting to exaggerate as to how good it really was back in Egypt! Moral of the story? Always remember God’s goodness and be confident of His future grace.

This is what i so need to internalize, or rather keep being reminded. At times, i end up thinking that i wish i was not in this or that situation, that this decision i made seems to make life worse for me, on so on and so forth... but yet i forget that these are the choices i made by seeking God and having peace from Him and knowing back then that it was what He was pleased with me to go forward with. So why think that this is not the best for me in this season of my life? God is leading me towards something better - He led the Israelites out of Egypt, out of slavery and yet they still thought that being slaves was much better as they had food to eat. But they conveniently chose to forget the much worse situation that they were in and the much better life they were to be leading in the promised land!

Have faith, all of us! We are going towards where He has called us. Do not doubt Him but have complete faith that He will finish the good work that He started in us as long as we persevere and do not throw in the towel and call it quits.
