Grumbling

Hope Alliance Bethlehem

Three days into the journey and the Israelites are grumbling. How does this happen? The same way it regularly happens in our lives. We cling to a sense of entitlement that shifts our perspective off of God's glory, presence and mission and onto our cravings and comfort. Rather than going to God in lament about the reality of our struggle we point our finger at him in disgust. And when grumbling starts, it spreads quickly. Only a mediator greater than Moses, namely Jesus, can save us from ourselves.
