Spiritual Amnesia
Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the LORD heard everything they said. Then the LORD’s anger blazed against them, and he sent a fire to rage among them, and he destroyed some of the people in the outskirts of the camp. Numbers 11:1 God had miraculously delivered the Israelites from their slavery in Egypt and was now feeding them every morning with manna, yet they complained. Can we get a little variety here, God? At least we had some sides to go with fish when we were slaves. Their ungrateful attitude toward God's goodness kindled His anger against them. From this example, we learn a great deal about what God thinks about ungratefulness. You don't want to go there. He hates it with a passion and can be quick and severe in His correction. Psalm 92:1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD... If we use the Israelites as a mirror, we don't have to look long to see that we also have moments of ungratefulness....
