S ~ They even spoke against God himself, saying, “God can’t give us food in the wilderness. Yes, he can strike a rock so water gushes out, but he can’t give his people bread and meat.”
When the Lord heard them, he was furious. The fire of his wrath burned against Jacob. Yes, his anger rose against Israel, for they did not believe God or trust him to care for them. Pslam 78:19-22
O ~ Israel had eaten manna and drank water from a rock - but they have determined that meat was beyond God. His power was limited, and so was his ability to care for them.
A ~ It made God mad - that his kids did not believe or trust Him to care for them. Needless worry - and hurtful doubt. Clearly they did not know Him, nor His power. And yet they had seen so many miracles, and He had provided for so many years. Much like today, we need to look to God, believing and trusting that He will care for us.
P ~ Lord, I don’t want any lack of trust or belief in you to cause you anger - which un-doubtedly is connected to hurt. May I simply live a life of trust, knowing in your power to provide, and your constant care for me and my family.
