Exodus 15:24 “So the people grumbled at Moses, saying, “’What shall we drink?’”

In keeping with the same thought as yesterday, here in Exodus we read about a very short minded people. The Jewish people, just recently freed from slavery, had witnessed the parting of the Red Sea and the destruction of Pharaoh’s army. They walked across the sea bottom on DRY GROUND. How cool was that?

And now here they are three days later, and they are actually worried about not having water. Did they not think that the God who freed them could give hem drink? What ungrateful, unbelieving people.

That kind of reminds us of our children, doesn’t it? At some point our children get brain freeze and forget all that we have done for them. “Hey Junior, I just fed you a nine course meal!” “Hey Penelope, didn’t I just buy you a dress for homecoming.” But past experiences can be so soon forgotten.

Before you get angry, take a moment to reflect on all the things the Lord has done for you which you have forgotten. Think back over the years at all the miracles God has performed in your life. Now – do your children seem so different than you? Probably not! Be grateful and celebratory!
