Numbers 11:5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
Did they really remember what it was like being slaves? They seem to think the food was free and good. Is that the way they felt about it when they were in Egypt?
We often forget how things really are and we just want to be fed here and now. And the condition of our stomachs seems to effect our perception of reality. God was feeding them every night (except one). How cool is that? Yet they were complaining they were better off as slaves. Do we do that too? Now that we have been set free, do we thing we were better off as slaves? I hope not, but I fear we do too often.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always appreciate what you do for me. Help me to not complain but to give thanks.
Amen
