0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.9 | Yesterday, the camp set out for the first time in a year, and today we saw a series of |
0:17.3 | struggles with complaints, gossip, and unbelief. Be open today with grumbling. |
0:23.0 | We don't know what the grumbling in these first three verses is about, but it seems to be unwarranted |
0:27.4 | because in his anger, God sends a fire around the edges of the camp. Then they start grumbling |
0:33.0 | again about food. Their complaints here aren't related to an unmet need. God has given them manna to eat. |
0:40.3 | This is over a want. It's not desperation, it's entitlement. This is about doubting God's goodness |
0:47.0 | in their lives. He provided for them, and they didn't think it was sufficient. Once again, |
0:52.2 | they look longingly back at Egypt, and they don't realize that |
0:56.0 | whatever God calls you to endure with Him is better than any kind of abundance without him. |

1:14.5 | want to guard my words. Moses is stressed out by all their crying and he takes his frustration out on |
1:20.5 | God, but God isn't his problem. The people are his problem. Maybe you can relate. Anyway, Moses |
1:26.9 | intercedes for the people and God addresses the |
1:29.2 | real problem. His solution involves not only a delegation of responsibility, which Moses can do, |
1:35.4 | but also a distribution of God's spirit, which only God can do. When God the spirit is distributed |
1:42.3 | among them, they begin to prophesy. |
1:45.1 | What does this mean? |
1:46.5 | Prophecy is truth-telling. |
1:49.3 | Moses says he wishes all God's people were prophets. |
1:53.0 | And Paul reiterates this in the New Testament in 1st Corinthians 14. |
