                Getting What We Don't Deserve - Part 2\n                             Exodus 17:2-3\n                              01\/30\/2024\n\n\n        2    Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and\n             said, ``Give us water to drink.''  And Moses said\n             to them, ``Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you\n             test the LORD?''\n        3    But the people thirsted there for water, and the\n             people grumbled against Moses and said, ``Why did\n             you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our\n             children and our livestock with thirst?''  (ESV)\n\n        The children of Israel had left Egypt several weeks earlier.\n   Throughout their exodus from slavery they witnessed miracles and\n   the presence of God.  He traveled with them in a pillar of cloud\n   by day and a pillar of fire by night.  Yet, when confronted with\n   the problem of having no water, they turned away from God and\n   complained.\n\n        Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said,\n        ``Give us water to drink.''  And Moses said to them,\n        ``Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the\n        LORD?''  But the people thirsted there for water, and\n        the people grumbled against Moses and said, ``Why did\n        you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our\n        children and our livestock with thirst?''\n\n\n        Although they targeted Moses as their leader, their\n   complaint was with God.  They failed this test of faith, desiring\n   to return to being slaves rather than trusting the LORD.\n\n        Often, when we face difficulties, we grumble against God.\n   We don't trust Him, we think we deserve better treatment, we\n   demand our own way.  The sin of the children of Israel is also\n   our sin.\n\n        Anytime we focus on ourselves rather than on God's goodness,\n   we become dissatisfied.  We demand what we think we deserve, not\n   admitting that we deserve His eternal wrath and punishment.  What\n   we receive is His love, grace, and mercy.\n\n        We will see this truth as we continue the story.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith and patience during our trials\n   and tribulations, that we trust in Him alone.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
