“From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.” Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.”‭‭Numbers‬ ‭21:4-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because the people said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?” I am the quickest to complain when small things do not go my way. Big things are out of my control, but I think small things should just work out like traffic or my dog not having a accident to take care of in the morning when you don’t have any spare time. Small or big, there is always something for which I can be grateful in the mist of the small stuff and I don’t think God likes a complaining spirit. Please pray that we and our friends find something in which we are grateful during the down moments. Please pray for the CLC Prayer and Fundraising breakfast on Nov. 28th.
