Do You Murmur and Complain?

Join me in the word. Exodus 17:1-7

1And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

2Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, why chide ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

3And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

4And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, what shall I do unto this people? They be almost ready to stone me.

5And the LORD said unto Moses, go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

6Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

It is easy to fall into the same spirit the children of Israel found themselves as they murmured to the man of God for leading them to unknown territory. Back in Egypt they had water, food, and shelter. How quickly they forgot the bondage God led them out of.

Do you need water today? Remember where God brought you from. Remember his promise to provide your every need. Remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Remember that our Lord promised he would never leave us nor forsake us.

So, what’s the problem? Kick yourself into gear, get up and open that door and let Jesus come in and flood your soul. He is, he lives, and he welcomes you to live by faith and receive all he has available for you. It will bring joy and contentment this world will not offer.

Oh, yes, it will take a load off the man of God that leads you. So give it all to Jesus and give you, your family, and friends a break.

Remember:

If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed some of my emails, you have missed a laugh or an uplifting word.
But, if you have missed knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, you have missed everything in the world.

1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
