Now that we’re up to Exodus in Sunday School, I am reminded once again of how much murmuring and whining the Children of Israel do. Clearly the major theme of Exodus is God’s power to save. But packed in there is a pretty strong message that God’s people:

1. Complain a lot to the prophet

“And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.”

2. Have no idea what is really going on

“And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? ”

3. Forget past blessings very quickly

“They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them”

All of these are probably still true of us to an unfortunate extent. Except you. I’m sure you’re fine.
