And the people\n             became impatient on the way.\n        5    And the people spoke against God and against\n             Moses, ``Why have you brought us up out of Egypt\n             to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and\n             no water, and we loathe this worthless food.''\n             (ESV)\n\n        The story of the Exodus, of the children of Israel leaving\n   Egypt and wandering in the wilderness for forty years, is the\n   story of sin, repentance, restoration and service.  Time and\n   again, they grumbled against God, received the punishment due for\n   their unbelief, repented, and returned to trusting in God to\n   sustain and deliver them.\n\n        Near the end of their forty year trek, when the children of\n   Israel turned once again from the promised land towards the\n   wilderness, they began to grumble against God and Moses.  They\n   were tired of the miraculous manna which God provided, and\n   desired something different.\n        From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea,\n        to go around the land of Edom. And the people became\n        impatient on the way.  And the people spoke against God\n        and against Moses, ``Why have you brought us up out of\n        Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food\n        and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.''\n\n\n        God eventually disciplined the children of Israel for their\n   unbelief and their unfaithfulness.  More importantly, this event\n   during the wilderness years pointed directly to the sacrifice of\n   Jesus Christ for the sins of all people.  This week we will look\n   at the sin, discipline, and forgiveness given by God even to\n   those who lack trust in His promises.\n\n        May our Lord grant you the peace of knowing His love.
