This morning we studied Numbers 10:11 through the end of Chapter 11. We saw the Israelites setting out from Sinai towards the promised land and within the first three days, already they began to complain. In this, we see a picture of ourselves in that we often find ourselves dissatisfied with what God has blessed us with and instead seeking the comfort of our flesh over contentment and faith that God will provide all we need. There's an odd familiarity to the push and pull battle between the faith and flesh, yet we see in this passage that God is one who deals justly with the ungrateful, ultimately for the refinement and purification of his people and, in our lives, the process of sanctification as he chips away that which is unlike Christ.
Numbers 10:11-11:35
