Day 65 Are You Grateful For What God Has Done In Your LIfe?

Day 65

Daily Bible Reading Schedule

Numbers 11-13
Luke 3

The Israelites were never happy.  That is why they wandered in the wilderness for forty years.  They were not faithful to God.

Do you ever feel that you are just going in circles and wondering why things are not working out for you?  Wondering why everything is going wrong?  Think about what you are doing and what you are saying?

Numbers 11:1
And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were int the uttermost parts of the camp.

The people cried out.  Moses prayed and the fire was quenched.

They saw the power of God and still they complained, even though, God was giving them everything.  Still they complained.  Are you complaining and not grateful for what God has done for you?

Numbers 11:4-6
The "mixed" multitude that was among them, fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept (complained) who said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat?"
We remember the fish, that we ate in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons, the leeks and the onions and the garlic,
Now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all, except this manna before our eyes.

God provided Manna for food, still they were not happy.  They haven't been happy since they left Egypt.  No matter what God did for them, they were not happy.  Are you like that?  Never happy, always complaining? 

Because they were not happy with what God was doing with them, God said this:

Numbers 14:20-23
The Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy Word.
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the Glory of the Lord
Because all those men which have seen my Glory, and my Miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and have tempted me now these then times, and have not Hearkened to my Voice;
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it. 

Numbers 14:33
And your children shall wander in the wilderness for forty years, and bear your whoredoms (Unfaithfulness) until your carcases  be wasted in the wilderness.

That is why a three day walk into the Promise Land took 40 years.  They were not listening to God.

Are you listening to God.

The Israelites were not grateful for anything that God did for them. 

Most Believers are like this.  They are never happy with what they have, they always want more or something else.

Next time you go to church, listen to how they talk.  Are they complaining about work, their family, talking about sickness.  Are they praising God or just complaining.

Time to check yourself or you will be wandering around waiting on  God and God will not show up.
