Numbers 10-11: Complaint Department

The theme was "complaint department." In chapter 10, the Israelites set out with high hopes and great expectations, but in chapter 11 they ran into the hot dry desert which sapped their strength and shortened their tempers. And as it often happens today, when hardship and difficulties come upon us, instead of praying, and trusting in God's provision, they complained to each other and criticized Moses. Let's remember to support our church leaders and remember that God is our only true source of any relief and supply.
