Today we encounter the Israelites complaining, belly-aching about their situation.
They are complaining directly against God for the gift of food he had given them to nourish them. They didn't like it they wanted something better.
They focused on what was wrong rather then recognizing what was right-they were free, slaves no longer; they had witness wonderful sights and victory at the hand of God.
But, yet they lingered in the belly-ache.
How often are we this way? We fail to recognize what is right and focus o what is wrong and lose sight of the gift right before our nose.
We can complain about the rosebush having thorns or we can praise God for the thorn bush that has beautiful roses.
Gratitude brings us strength; a heart fill with gratitude is a heart that will always be faithful. If we lose sight of gratitude, we lose sight of grace.
