—Exodus 16:1-12
by: Irene B. Saunders.
The Children of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron. This was, in turn, grumbling against God who had ordained Moses and Aaron to lead the people. This was a sin of rebellion. When things do not please us, we complain, gossip, and grumble. God does not owe us a thing. Were we to get what we deserve, we would all be killed because we are imperfect and sinful. God’s mercy is great. We need also to remember, that along with his mercy, he is righteous and just. Many of the children of Israel were killed for their rebellious grumbling.
