Back in the day...

What do you miss about your past... What makes you say, "you remember when?" In the book of Numbers, (chap.11)the Israelites complained because they didn't see what God was doing for them. They were being set free from Egypt, making them a new nation, and giving them a new land. But all they could think about was the food they were missing out on in Egypt. Somehow they forgot about the price that had to be paid for that food... Slavery!
But before we judge the Israelites to bad, we need to think about what we keep on our minds. When we aren't satisfied, it is because our attention changes from what we do have, to what we don't have. Are you grateful for what God has given you, or are you always thinking about what you would like to have? Don't allow your desires that aren't happening make you forget God's gifts... Life, food, health, work, and friends and family.
