Isn’t it enough that you brought us out of Egypt, a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us here in this wilderness, and that you now treat us like your subjects? 14What’s more, you haven’t brought us into another land flowing with milk and honey. You haven’t given us a new homeland with fields and vineyards. Are you trying to fool these men?16:14 Hebrew Are you trying to put out the eyes of these men? We will not come.”

But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. “O God,” they pleaded, “you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Must you be angry with all the people when only one man sins?”

“Place Aaron’s staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant to serve as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths.” 11So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.

Be sure to give to the Lord the best portions of the gifts given to you.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart grateful for the struggles I endure, Keep my eyes focused on you to the point nothing else distracts me, I am grateful for your blessing and grace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
