“If only the Lord had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned. “There we sat around pots filled with meat and ate all the bread we wanted. But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.”

“Do not keep any of it until morning.” 20But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them.

Some of the people went out anyway on the seventh day, but they found no food. 28The Lord asked Moses, “How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions?

Why are you trying to do all this alone while everyone stands around you from morning till evening?”

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart focused on you and away from my struggles, keep me in a state of worship not complaining. Keep me from testing you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
