Grumble, Grumble, Grumble.

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, "In the evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of Egypt, and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?" Moses also said, "You will know that it was the LORD when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the LORD."
[Exodus 16:6-8]

"My complaining may focus on another person. That may be where my eyes are, but my real complaint is not with people. My complaint is with God and He hears it...When you and I receive painful consequences for our behavior and attitudes, we need to remember that this is not retaliation by God; He "retaliates" with faithfulness and blessings."
-James MacDonald [Our Journey, 6/1/10]
