þ Spend time with God

þ Pray! Pray! Pray!

þ Get active

þ Make wise food choices

þ Manage my time

Numbers 11:4-34

I’m in the second day of eating only fruits and vegetables, I do allow myself to have bread (whole wheat or multi grain)and I find myself hungrey or least my brain says I am. I also find myself wanting cheese and meat, and when I do I pray for Gods help.

In this passage the people are complaining about what they don’t have instead of giving thanks for what God has provided.

God has provided me all the fruit, nuts, grains and vegetable (plant base foods) and I’m happy to have them. V20 God tells us why he provides meat to His people.

“…because you have rejected the Lord…”

Now think about it, when you are rejected do want to do something for that person. Do you have that warm fuzzy feeling that makes you want to provide for their every need? I’m sorry but I don’t, when I feel rejected then I don’t want to do anything for the person. If you don’t want me then ok you’re on your own and I will do what I want. That’s not true with God. When we reject Him that just fuels the flame for Him to come after and do all the more us. We should be like that also looking for ways to love the individual just the way Jesus would love him.

Draw closer to God when times are hard or you have a need; and do it without complaining about it or criticizing God for not doing it just the way you think it should be. When people takes control of the situation then it is goofed up, we just can’t see the same things that God can.
