Grace for your spirit
Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. Numbers 11:1
God hates it when He gives us His very best blessings, and then all we can do it complain. He had freed His family from bondage and was directing them to their promised land in a way that would make then thankful and strong. They were neither thankful nor strong. As parents, when we hear our kids complaining and running us down, it hurts our feelings. Then it makes us angry, and punishment will surely follow for the little ingrates. God is the same kind of parent. Hurt, angry, and then comes the fire. How can we break the cycle for us and God? When we repent, obey, are thankful, and satisfied, the cycle of blessings will continue. Let’s respond to the voice of our Lord before the firestorm hits us.
Philippians 4:23
