Numbers 11-14

Numbers 11 addresses two times that Israel whined to God. Their second complaint in this passage was about the food they had to eat. Their first complaint was not specified. They didn't or could identify what their problem was but they knew they didn't like it. When I was young there were times that I whined for no reason. My parents would respond with the phrase; "I'll give you something to cry about." It was not an idle threat. God doesn't respond idlely to those who refuse to receive what he provides. God became angry. That anger overflowed and addressed those people who were complaining the most. What lesson does that offer us?
It took me about 20 minutes to read this passage.
