Scripture: Exodus 16:1-8
Moses also said, "You will know that it was the LORD when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the LORD.
Observation
After escaping through the waters of a parted sea (Chapter 14) and being provided water to drink the Israelites still grumble. They forget God’s constant provision.
Application:
In times of good I often forget to give thanks or worse take credit for success. In times of bad it is often temptation to grumble and forget God’s provision is always available.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for when I have forgotten to give you thanks for all my blessings and when I have grumbled needlessly before you.
Yield
Needless grumbling

Observation: Things haven't changed. The syndrome of what have you done for me lately, not what have you done, still exists.
Application: Be thankful for where you are and where you have come from. Don't worry, the Lord has provided grace for you this far along in your journey. He wont let up now.
Prayer: Lord, Thank You!
Yield: Grumbling
