Good morning friends 😊 I am reading in Numbers 11 today. This chapter starts out with the Lord being angered at the Israelites because of their constant complaining. These people were on a long journey to the promise land and the food that was given to them by the Lord was called manna yet they were not please they wanted meat in their belly and they went as far to say why did we ever leave Egypt? We had all the meat we wanted. Oh how soon they forgot the slavery and mistreatment they had under Pharos thumb... So Moses cried out to God saying I can not bear this burned of 600,000 people who want meat. The Lord told Moses bring me 70 elders and I will split up your burden and I will give people meat to eat not for a day not for two but for a whole month until it's running out of their nostrils. Moses questions the Lord, their are over 600,000 people how can you feed thin for a month? Will you pull all the fish from the sea??? Look what the Lord says: "Has the Lords arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen or not."
When we hear from the Lord and we doubt Him we are minimizing the size of our God, shortening His arm... Is He not the God who put this whole world into motion! Doubt your doubts instead not the Lord or His promises. Also as a side note I got out of this scripture that sometimes we forgot where we came from and the past may seem brighter than it actually was. Don't take for granted what God has given you nor underestimate what He is still going to provide!
