The Israelites went 40 years without bread and wine. That's like me going 40 years without bread and pop. 40 years! That's a long time! And for me, those are the two things I look most forward to - food and drink. Why did God do that?
Well, He tells them. So, they would know He was God! Uh-oh! I know God promises life to the full. Heck, my life verse is John 10:10. But, do I trust Him to give me life to the full? Or do I trust pop and fast food?
Today, I have a decision to make. Will I go to Speedway to get a pop? My brain has been doing some weird things - I've got foggy pop brain. And I was really looking forward to getting that pop this morning. But, is this a test for God and am I going to give up pop forever?
What should I do here? Is this an overreaction? Is this something that doesn't really matter. I know the Israelites complained because their bread was unleavened and they had the same thing to eat every day. I've never really thought about it, but I probably would have complained too. I love food.
But, God did not like that. Is this really something You are concerned about? And how sad is it that this is the thing that I have thought the most about in a long time?
