It's Day 39 and we're in Exodus 17.
Where God Spoke To Me:- Verse 2 - Hey, didn't He just take care of your need? Quit whining!
Help:
- Verse 11 - The point of this is, of course, not that there was anything intrisically important in Moses holding up his hands, but that Israel would clearly understand that the victory was not because of their military prowess, but because of God's might.

Your Questions and Comments:
- "The Israelites complained about how hard they had to work in Egypt, then God rescued them. Then the Israelites complained about food, and God provided (without them having to hunt or raise a garden). In the next chapter, the Israelites complain about water.
"And so it goes today. We are never satisfied. If we don't like our small house, and God gives us a larger house, we complain about cleaning it. If our car is old, and God gives us a newer one, we complain because the insurance goes up. If we want to lose weight and God helps us do that, then we complain that our clothes don't fit and we have to buy new ones. We want our church to grow, and when God adds to the church, we complain about having to park farther from the building. Don't you get tired of being around people who complain all the time ? They seem to never be happy, to never be satisfied.
"It's sad that Christians are some of the greatest complainers. If we would live with a grateful heart and praise God for our blessings, what a light we could be to a dark world."
