Murmuring seems to come so naturally to the natural man. Murmurs have short memories. Israel arrived in Sinai, then onto the holy land, though they were sometimes hungry and thirsty. But the Lord rescued them, whether by miraculous quail or by water struck from a rock. Strange, isn't it, brothers and sisters, how those with the shortest memories have the longest list of demands? However, with no remembrance of past blessings, there is no perspective about what is really going on. This powerful verse in the Old Testament reminds us, "And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no."
