Mother's Journal-Leaders Attacked!

Numbers 16- A chapter of high drama! The unfair accusations against Moses and Aaron; God vindicating them, the unbelievable arrogance of the Israelites, God's anger, Moses and Aaron's pleading for them to God, God's righteous punishment... Again, the seriousness of attacking God's anointed ones.

Numbers 17:5b-"Thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, which they make against you." (Moses) This says so much about God's character and what His children mean to Him and should have been such an encouragement to you, dear Moses. v.10b-"That you may put their complaints away from Me, lest they die." To remember-complaints against God's leaders , He considers as complaints against Himself!

I Tim. 4:4-"For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified by the Word of God and with prayer."
What better dietary guideline. And if I were to take time to thank God for every morsel that I eat, that would do away with all the 'mindless' eating.
