Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should keep acting like a prince over us? Numbers 16:13
Brought us up out of?! How quickly they forgot that they were the ones who refused to enter that promised land! Moses runs into a bit of ingratitude here in our verse for today, and it would appear some willful memory lapsing. This incident may bring to mind something we have forgotten, someone to give thanks to perhaps. Or, we may be in the other position where someone refused advice or a gift, and then later blamed us for not having what was freely offered! That would hurt and we would know something of what God must have felt in this moment of ingratitude from the Israelites.
If the Lord promises, keep on believin'!
