Exodus 16:1-7

The children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel left Egypt but Egypt did not leave them. The Israelites continue to look back in complaint instead of looking back only in thanksgiving and praising God. Egypt let them go but they could not let Egypt go after they were delivered from the affliction of over four hundred years. In every step they took forward, they continued to look back. Complaint about their need was a major breakdown that denied so many generations from getting to the promise land. What about you? Is there any thing in the past that is holding you from going forward? Have you ever seen any vehicle that is going forward while at the same time going backward? Probably, the Red Sea was yet settled from its granting passage to huge numbers of the children before complaining started. The Israelites began to complain for lack of bread. Exodus 16:3, ÒAnd the children of Israel said to them, oh that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.Ó It is unimaginable that a group that has just seen the Hand of God in action could turn around so fast and so soon. If you are alive to be able to read this, you can believe that complaining directly or indirectly will not transport you but will terminate you. Among the children of Israel, the ages that came out through the Red Sea failed and did not get into their promise land. Let yesterday be yesterday in your journey. Do not complain. Change from complaining to complementing Him with a heart of thanks giving. God will enable you in all areas of life.
