We're in Numbers in "Come, Follow Me." The Israelites are, again, complaining that all they eat is manna. They look backwards to their time in Egypt. "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely." (Numbers 11:5) "I don't want manna anymore, I want flesh" and they go to Moses and cry to him. It becomes too much and he goes to the Lord. They forget the hardship they went through of being slaves, having their children thrown into the river because Pharaoh was afraid of their numbers becoming too much. They cried to the Lord for relief. "Help us out of our situation." Now they're saying "It wasn't too bad there." How many times do we do that?
I begged for deliverance from my Egypt last night, and today I see another of my Egypts thinking "It wasn't too bad." Instead of reminding myself of the pain and affliction I endured before turning myself away from it. I just turned away from it, but it's still in the back of my mind trying to come forward. I'm now giving it to the Lord, not looking back at it with lust but with truth. It caused mental, physical, and spiritual pain. I'm good with the "manna" the Lord has given me. Don't look back with lust, give it to the Lord and see the truth. I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
