MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic: Why Pick On Me
Text: Numbers 11:11 – 15
The cry
of the people provoked Moses. That made him to undervalue the honour God had
put upon him. He magnified his own performances, while he had the divine wisdom
to direct him, and Almighty power to dispense rewards and punishments. He
speaks distrustfully of the divine grace.
The
Israelites complained, and then Moses complained to God. But God responded
positively to Moses and negatively to the rest of the people. Why? The people
complained to one another, and there was no result. Moses took his complaint to
God, who could solve any problem.
Many
of us are good at complaining to each other even when we know that those people
we complain to; can’t help us. Many of us usually say why me. That was the case
of Moses here. This is a grave way of discrediting and dishonouring God. We
need to learn to take our problems to the One who can do something about them
instead of complaining and saying why me.
The
action of the people led Moses to complain too. Those of us in leadership
position should always say this prayer; “Lord, lead us not into temptation.” Do
you have a burden that you feel you can’t share with people? Why not go to God
in prayer. He will hear and answer you.
Food for Thought: Why pick on me is a way of saying that God made mistake in calling
you into His service.
Memory verse: Numbers 11:11
