THEY MURMURED Thursday September 17, 2015
Text: Numbers 14:1 – 4 Memory verse: v 2
Those
who do not trust God will always be in sorrow. The sorrow of the world works
death (2 Corinthians 7:10). The Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron,
and thus reproached God. They look back with causeless discontent. This is
madness of uncontrolled passions that makes men prodigal of life itself. They
wish rather to die criminals under God's justice, than to live conquerors in His
favour. At last they resolved that, instead of going forward to Canaan, they
would go back to Egypt. Was that not foolishness?
If
you walk against God’s counsel, you will end in ruin. What are you currently
passing through that you have resolved to start murmuring? We complain of our
place, work and lot, and we would change; but is there any place or condition
in this world that doesn’t have something in it to make us uneasy? Beware of
murmuring so as not to incur the wrath of God.
Food for Thought: Murmuring is a way to discredit God
Prayer: Help me O Lord not to murmur against you no matter
the problem.
