Numbers 11:10-15
Excerpted from: Lessons from the Count to PentecostThe grumbling started with the mixed multitude that went with them, and then it spread to them. What did they attack? God Himself—the very hope of productive lives in the weekly reminder of the work that only our Great God can do. They literally told God that they despised what He had given them to sustain life, wanting more of what they thought would satisfy their carnal lusts.
Even Moses was getting worn down showing itself in failing to remember all that God had done to bring them to this point, with unlimited power. Although, we see in verses 16-17, God provided Moses with the help he needed to continue. Apparently, He saw in Moses’ almost overwhelming frustration and his own recognition of his failures to live up to his responsibilities (Numbers 11:15), and that he needed a way of escape, which God provided (Numbers 11:16-30).
But with those who complained (with rebellion in their hearts), literally despising what God had provided to keep them whole and sound now for year—He was furious!
