Numbers 11

Wow, an interesting chapter today! I suppose one could take this as a warning against gluttony, as well as against complaining about what God has provided. Often in our lives God may provide what we need, but we still desire other things in our sinful nature - and perhaps we should look to the example of the Israelites here as a lesson not to. Not only did God choose to give them what they wanted in excess quantities, but He also struck many of them down with a plague. While God doesn't seem to act in quite such direct methods today He is certainly active in our lives, so we should be careful what we wish for :)

That is something I should work on: wishing and praying for God's will to be manifest in my life, rather than the things I selfishly want. I'm sure I'd be happier and healthier if I pursued that goal instead of my own.
