Multitude Monday (on Tuesday :) ): Lessons from the Manna

For our family devotion last night, we were reading the story about the Israelites complaining to Moses about the manna they received daily from the Lord.  

It's amazing how God provided food and drink for his chosen ones in the hot desert, and all they wanted to do was return to Egypt, to slavery,. . . all for 'delicious tasting' meals.  No praise offered, no thanks.  It is almost hard to fathom. . .

After tucking Cole in, this message stayed with me - one of complaining instead of being content; wanting more instead of seeing the blessings and miracles around me;  wishing to return over and over to slavery/sin because it looks, feels, and tastes better to my flesh.

Thank you Lord for your goodness. . .for your Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Always and Forever Love.  Thank you for lessons from the manna. . .
