As the Israelite&#8217;s encountered danger, shortages, and inconvenience, they complained bitterly and longed to be back in Egypt. But as always, God provided for their needs. Difficult circumstances often lead to stress, and complaining is a natural response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">The Israelite&#8217;s didn\u2019t really want to be back in Egypt; they just wanted life to get a little easier. In the pressure of the moment, they could not focus on the cause of their stress (in this case, lack of trust in God); they could only think about the quickest way of escape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">When pressure comes your way, resist the temptation to make a quick escape. Instead, focus on God\u2019s power and wisdom to help you deal with the cause of your stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>BIBLE READING:<\/b><\/span> <b>Exodus 16:1-10<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b><span class=\"c15\">KEY BIBLE VERSE:<\/span><\/b> <\/span>There, too, the whole community of Israel spoke bitterly against Moses and Aaron.

Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">The people complained to one another, and nothing was accomplished. Moses took his complaint to God, who could solve any problem. Many of us are good at complaining to each other. We need to learn to take our problems to the one who can do something about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c18\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff6600;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">UNFULFILLED DESIRES<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Dissatisfaction comes when our attention shifts from what we have to what we don\u2019t have. The people of Israel didn\u2019t seem to notice what God was doing for them-setting them free, making them a nation, giving them a new land\u2014because they were so wrapped up in what God wasn\u2019t doing for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">They could think of nothing but the delicious Egyptian food they had left behind. Somehow they forgot that the brutal whip of Egyptian slavery was the cost of eating that food. Before we judge the Israelite&#8217;s too harshly, it\u2019s helpful to think about what occupies our attention most of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Are we grateful for what God has given us, or are we always thinking about what we would like to have?

Covering the ground was white, fluffy manna\u2014food from heaven. But soon that wasn\u2019t enough. Feeling it was their right to have more, they forgot what they already had. They didn\u2019t ask God to fill their need; instead they demanded meat, and they stopped trusting God to care for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><strong><span class=\"c19\">\u201cOh, for some meat!\u201d<\/span><\/strong> they complained to Moses as they reminisced about the good food they had in Egypt.
