Exodus 16:3
The sons of Israel said to them, "Would that we had died by the LORD'S hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
They were a group of complainers were they not?
Exodus 5 we see them complaining to Moses for trying to deliver them from the hand of Pharaoh because the Pahraoh then made life harder on them by not giving them straw to make bricks. Then he later delivered them despite their rejection of Moses after the plagues had taken place.
In Exodus 14 we see the Israelites complaining because Pharoah's army was coming after them in the desert and they told Moses that God had brought them there to die. Then God opened the Red Sea for them to escape.
In Exodus 15:24 the people murmered against God again for lack of water and so they were provided water and then again in Exodus 17:7 they thirsted again and wondered if God was with them.
Then in Exodus 32 we see the people questioning if God was with them again and built a golden calf to worship instead of their God.
Then in Numbers 14 the Israelites are at it again as they question why God would bring them to the promised land only to die by the sword because there were giants in the land.
Yep there is no doubt about it. Nobody like a whiner!! Either God is with us in the midst of our troubles or he is not. Then when he delivers us we give him no credit whatsoever.
