Exodus 16:1-35Do you remember last week’s sermon? The one on grumbling. Well, one of our favorite things to grumble about is change. There is something about human nature that makes us look back on the way things were and pretend that it was all better back then and back there. People talk about the good ole days.
Do you know how many country western singers it takes to change a light bulb? Five, one to change the bulb and the other four to sing about how much they long for the old one. I’m afraid that this romanticizing of the past is partly a byproduct of our natural but sinful discontentment. That is certainly the case with the children of Israel who found themselves travelling the desert and growing hungry. And they expressed their need for food by doing what? Grumbling. They grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
We would hope that, just like God led Israel out of prison and slavery, God will use this story to teach us the kind of liberation that can only come from Him.
