MARK 14:22-52
PSALM 52:1-9
PROVERBS 11:1-3
Question of the day: Why would God give the quail on the one hand and then on the other punish them for eating it?
God performed his promise to the people, in giving them meat. The Israelites were so much more concerned with how they would have variety in their diet then how they would receive nourishment from their relationship with God! We are so concerned with our perceived needs of today; but stupidity blinds us as to the concerns of eternity. We don't need to be persuaded to chase after worldly things; but when we can get true riches, we are neglectful.
Those of us who are under the power of a selfish mind will have our cravings satisfied, even though it could cause damage to our souls. The Israelites paid dearly for their feasts. God often grants the desires of sinners in his anger, while he denies the desires of his own people in love. What we obtain in our selfishness will cause us grief and sadness.
