Psa 78:14-15, In the daytime also He led them with the cloud, And all the night with a light of fire. He split the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.
By HIS mighty hand, HE led Israel day and night! When they were thirsty, HE brought water from a rock and quenched their thirst!
Psa 78:17-18, BUT THEY SINNED EVEN MORE AGAINST HIM BY REBELLING AGAINST THE MOST HIGH IN THE WILDERNESS. AND THEY TESTED GOD IN THEIR HEART BY ASKING FOR THE FOOD OF THEIR FANCY.
Israel was on a road trip to their new homeland guided by GOD! YET, they tested GOD! Can GOD do this, can HE do that!
Psa 78:19-20, Yes, they spoke against God: They said, “CAN GOD PREPARE A TABLE IN THE WILDERNESS? …. CAN HE GIVE BREAD ALSO? CAN HE PROVIDE MEAT FOR HIS PEOPLE?”
Num 11:21,23 And Moses said, “The people whom I am among are SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN ON FOOT; yet You have said, ‘I WILL GIVE THEM MEAT, THAT THEY MAY EAT FOR A WHOLE MONTH.’ …. And the LORD said to Moses, “HAS THE LORD’S ARM BEEN SHORTENED? NOW YOU SHALL SEE WHETHER WHAT I SAY WILL HAPPEN TO YOU OR NOT.”
We as humans tend to limit GOD who created all things by HIS breath! Even when it’s impossible for us, Remember HE is not limited!
Luk 18:27, But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
HE gave them the bread they desired “Manna”, and the meat they craved for, BUT THEIR HEARTS STILL DOUBTED THE LORD!
Psa 78:37, FOR THEIR HEART WAS NOT STEADFAST WITH HIM, NOR WERE THEY FAITHFUL IN HIS COVENANT.
Psa 78:41, Yes, again and again they tempted God, AND LIMITED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
OUR LACK OF FAITH LIMITS WHAT GOD CAN DO FOR US AND THROUGH US! REMEMBER JESUS WHEN HE WENT TO NAZARETH!
Mat 13:58, Now HE did not do many mighty works there BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF.
Heb 11:6, BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
