In my devotions, I recently prayed through the following Psalm and considered how often I tempt God in my heart. I want what I want. I wonder why God doesn't do certain things for me, which can lead to doubt. I don't accept and am not grateful for all He is doing. I forget what He has done. Thank God that He is so good and kind.
Have you ever faced the same issues in your life? Let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart now. It hurts when people have not been satisfied with me and what I did for them. Do you think God expresses that same hurt on a much grander scale?
Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
Can he give bread also?
Can he provide flesh for his people?
They believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation:
He gave them their own desire;
Believed not for his wondrous works.
Their heart was not right with him,
He remembered that they were but flesh;
Grieve him in the desert!
Limited the Holy One of Israel.
42 They remembered not his hand,
Truths to learn
Trust God's provision and be grateful
Learn to be content with God's provisions instead of constantly seeking more or questioning His plans.
Think about past mistakes to learn and grow
Be persistent in faith, even during challenges
Wait on God
Acknowledge any wrong attitudes or doubts
Cultivate a spirit of gratitude for God's past provisions and blessings in your life.
Don't insult God by doubting Him
Learn to desire what God provides
Never forget all that He has done for you
Was the meat the problem?
the problem was being discontent and ungrateful with God's provision
the problem was the attitude and lack of trust in God's ability
Doubting God insults Him
Greed, lust, and what they wanted took control
Their lack of faith and disobedience was the real problem
