Numbers 11:31-34 ASV

These verses struck me pretty hard and made me look at my life in the past and present. While reading this, I realized that the Israelites wanted something that contradicted God’s plan; however, because he loved them (and was probably sick of hearing them complain about wanting meat) he gave them the quail. As I was walking into work this morning it hit me; the Isrealites mistrust caused them to miss out on the greater blessing that God had intended for them. So, I thought to myself, how many times have I missed the real blessing? That definitely stings a little. During all of these readings the continual ringing in my ears is that they did not have trust and obedience. Every time I read another book, it is becoming surprisingly more and more evident to me that trust and obedience are definitely the key ingredients to having a thriving relationship with God. So simple, yet I'm only scratching the surface.

Also, it became clear that Moses was the guy that saved the Israelites butt and dampened God's anger back then. Has Jesus (our Hero) had to convince God not to destroy our country? hmmmm
