MURMURING DISPLEASES THE LORD
THE SEED
“And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; and the Lord heard it; and His anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.” Numbers 11: 1
There is a difference between expressing displeasure at a situation and complaining. In the context above, the children of Israel ‘murmured’, ‘rebelled’, ‘spoke’ against God, because they felt that God had denied them their important needs.
They questioned the competent authority of God to meet their needs. They were quick to forget the great deliverance God wrought for them in the past.
Rather than ask in prayer and supplication, they staged a rebellion. God is absolute in power, authority, and rules justly. The reasons for their complaints were unjustified because they were consumed with lust for temporal things – food. Destruction was the consequence of their unjust complaints.
Let us learn to hold God with uttermost reverence and approach Him with holy fear and humility. We are encouraged to bring our petitions, requests, pains, hurts before God, in humility, and not with an arrogant feeling of entitlement.
PRAYER
Father, teach me to use my tongue wisely in Jesus name. Amen
