Let’s pretend you have some real problems in your life (I know… so unrealistic). If those trials are in your face every day and there is a significant amount of pain or loss or struggle to them, you probably live looking for a way to fix the problem. Naturally, we don’t want the downsides, so we search for some way to escape them. As a believer, this can turn to a prayer life where we continually ask God to fix our lives. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with praying for relief. But we can drift very easily into a mindset that thinks the answer to our lives is for God to do what we ask. Israel thought that too. They complained about their eating situation. And they did it so continuously that God eventually said ‘Yes’. But that wasn’t good news. Let’s take a look at this story and see if we can learn how to not cross this line with the Lord.
