Num 11:1-15
Do you ever catch yourself complaining when things don’t go your way? The Israelites did. Even after being freed from slavery, they longed for Egypt’s comforts, forgetting God’s miraculous provision. We, too, can become so focused on what we lack that we miss what God provides. Instead of trusting His timing, we grumble about our circumstances. But God calls us to gratitude. When we choose to focus on His faithfulness rather than our frustrations, our hearts are transformed. Today, shift your perspective. Instead of complaining about what’s missing, thank God for what He’s already given. Contentment grows when we trust that God’s provision is always enough, no matter how simple or unexpected.
