Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when he heard them his anger was aroused.
“Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?
Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. 15If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?
“We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large.
But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”
Lord God my Father,
Keep me in your delight and not looking at the struggles of the day. Help me to know you and trust your strength within me. I am weak and can only see the struggles, with you I can trust in the deliverance and wisdom it brings. Keep me from whining to you but to have a calm confidence that you know what you are doing with me today. Help me to know how big you are.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
