Posted: 26 Oct 2009 02:11 AM PDT Later , when Moses heard and saw the people "weeping" at the door of their tents and crying out, "Who shall give us flesh to eat?" (Num. 11:4), how did he react? Why was his attitude unjustified? Where do we see the flawed humanity of this great man of God coming through? Vss. 10-15.    Moses felt the pressure of all the people and he wondered why    God had given him such a responsibility. Moses actually wished    that he were dead in order that he would not have to deal    with the people.       Moses reacted the way many of us would have reacted in a    similar situation. We cant really point a finger , but we    must understand that God was the one who was in control.    Moses was being honest with God ,but he forgot that this    was the same God that delivered them for Egypt.    Read Numbers 11:21-23. How again does the humanity of Moses come through?       Her again we see that Moses has forgotten that God is the    one that supplies their every needs. Moses could not see    how God was going to provide for all those people and He    in return doubted God's power.       God addressed Moses on the grounds of His doubt in God's    ability to provide for them. Truthfully based on the    previous evidence experiences with God Moses concerns    were dubious.    Read carefully Numbers 11:20. They had "rejected the Lord, who is among you" (NIV). Rejecting the Lord, then, doesn't mean outright apostasy, or denial of God's existence, or taking one's name off the church books. What can we learn from this incident about how easy it is to deceive ourselves regarding our relationship to God?       We reject God when we despise the way that He provides for    us. We reject God when we reject His gifts. When we decide to    take our lives into our own hands , because we don't    like the way God is doing it we reject him. Gods is very    merciful and gracious toward us. It is by his mercies that    we are not consumed.    Prayer: Father help us to trust you. When we face the pressures of life may we remember the way you have helped us in the past. Father you are faithful help us to keep this reality before us. Thank you , in Jesus name amen. |
