Last week, we noted the three areas we can align ourselves with:
1. God through the Holy Spirit
2. Our flesh
3. Satan's kingdom.
How do we know if we're out of sync with God?
When we complain about...
1. Notice it was the people NOT Moses that were complaining. The Israelites complained when there was too much water (the Red Sea), when there wasn't any water (in the desert), about the food God provided, etc. They complained so much that the Lord's anger was aroused and fire consumed some on the outskirts of the group. The people cried out to Moses, so Moses prayed.
God has labeled certain things as harmful and to be avoided. He also said to hold onto what is good. In scripture we're told to rejoice always, and again I say rejoice. If we're complaining, we're not rejoicing.
When we despise blessings...
1. Exodus 12:38 tells us they were a mixed multitude. People from other nations were in the crowd, not just Israelites. The people had such intense cravings for meat that they wept. Although they had begged God to deliver them from Egyptian slavery, now they were "remembering" the various foods in Egypt. Have we ever had a situation where we remember things as better than what they were?
The thing you yield to will lead you to weep or rejoice, to be angry or pleased, to have hope or despair, etc.
