I have often had to say to the Lord, "I have not taken so much as a donkey from them," when dealing with grumblers. Isn't that a great phrase? Do you feel like God is being too harsh with some of the grumblers in the desert? Why do you think He was being so harsh?
I think God is establishing a new way and showing people how to obey. The people, even the good ones, will not obey Him and follow. He has to establish His power somehow. Granted, I might wish that it was different, but this is not for me to decide. It is my job to be obedient and to follow. We must never lose sight of this – we are to remain obedient and follow. We are asked for nothing else – just to have faith in the God who saved us. If you aren't going to have faith in Him, then who would deserve your love and affection?
