Num14 When We Grumble Against God

# When We Grumble Against God
## Num14:1-10

---
I have surely seen the **affliction** 
of my people who are in Egypt and have 
heard their **cry** because of their taskmasters.

I know their **sufferings**, and I have come down 
to **deliver** them [...] and to bring them [...] 
to a **good and broad land**, 
a land flowing with milk and honey

[Exodus 3:7-8 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
All the people of Israel 
**grumbled** against Moses and Aaron.

"I have heard the **grumblings** 
of the people of Israel, 
which they grumble **against me**."

[Numbers 14:2,27 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
Would that we had **died** in the land of **Egypt**! 
Or would that we had died in this **wilderness**! 
Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, 
to fall by the **sword**?

Our wives and our little ones will 
become a **prey**. Would it not be better 
for us to **go back** to Egypt?”

[Numbers 14:2-3 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
Yet you [...] **rebelled** against 
the command of the Lord your God. 
And you **murmured** in your tents and said,

"Because the Lord **hated** us he has 
brought us out of the land of Egypt, 
to give us into the hand of the Amorites, 
to **destroy** us."

[Deuteronomy 1:26-27 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
The **kindness** and the **severity** of God: 
severity toward those who have **fallen**, 
but God's kindness to you, 
provided you **continue** in his kindness.

Otherwise you too will be **cut off**. 
And even they, if they do not continue 
in their unbelief, will be **grafted** in, 
for God has the power to graft them in again.

[Romans 11:22-23 (ESV)](# "ref")

# Have I ever felt like God **hates** me?
