And they tested God in their heart by asking for the food of their fancy.
Yes, Father again and again we tempt You, and provoke You the Holy One. Over and over, we test You the Most High. You have commanded us to not tempt You Lord our God, yet our rebelliousness and sin comes before You. It is Your will and at Your discretion to test us to see if You will find faith on the earth. Father, I do desire to do what is right and good in Your sight as I desire for all to go well. By Your Spirit cast out all our enemies so we may dwell in the land of milk and honey. Moreover, You desire for the brethren to be aware of those who have gone before us and persevered. Through it all they had Your protection and guidance. Thank You Lord for all who have experienced Your miraculous deliverance and for those who will one day soon. Daily You provide us with bread from heaven and living water to nourish our souls, thank You. But Father it is so grievous to see and hear that there are those in our midst who have partaken of the same spiritual food and drink and yet have craved and lusted becoming idolaters. Some people have sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play, committing sexual immorality. Lord, strengthen us from within to stand and may we take heed lest we fall. Let us give thanks to You for You are good! Your mercy endures forever. It is so much better to trust in You than to put confidence in man. As the Psalmist says " Save now, I pray O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. God is LORD, and He given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You." Amen.
