’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised wonderful blessings for Israel!”30But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go. I must return to my own land and family.”31“Please don’t leave us,” Moses pleaded. “You know the places in the wilderness where we should camp. Come, be our guide. 32If you do, we’ll share with you all the blessings the Lord gives us.”

Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain. “Oh, for some meat!” they exclaimed. 5“We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted. 6But now our appetites are gone. All we ever see is this manna!”

But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them all!” 30Then Moses returned to the camp with the elders of Israel.

Lord God my Father,

You invite me to do your will and I complain, Lord Give me a spirit of obedience to trust you completely and do your will without putting my limits on you. Keep my heart in check that indeed all things are possible with you even if I have no idea what you are up to.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
