God has an unusual sense of humor.
The Lord heard you when you wailed, “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!” Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat it. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it.
Numbers 11:18-20 NIV
Lesson: Don’t complain about the manna.
“But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?” The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?
Numbers 11:21-23 NIV
Lesson: Don’t question God’s ability to provide.
In each instance, God made good on his promise to all the complaining Karens. They met the manager alright!
We serve a God who always makes his point crystal clear.
Even when witnessing miracles of providing foods like manna and then quail for his chosen people, we complain like Karens in a fine restaurant.
It’s not enough to be thankful.
Lesson: Don’t be a Karen.
Asking to see the Manager with a complaint instead of with a thankful heart might kill your appetite altogether.
