Remember & Get Happy

And the people murmured against Moses saying, What shall we drink? Ex 15:24

Let's rewind to a few events immediately before this murmuring:

• God sends a deliverer to the nation of Israel who are enslaved, who cried to him for relief.


• God brings plagues of bloody water, locusts, gnats, flies, hail, dead livestock and the death of the firstborn and others, none of which touch the Israelite nation or their land in Goshen.


• God frees them from Pharaoh, severe labor and beatings.


• God sends them out of Egypt with the silver, gold and clothing of their taskmasters.


• God leads them by a Cloud by day, a Pillar of Fire by night.


• God splits the sea as 2 walls so Israel can escape their enemy and makes a wash of their enemy with the very same water. They even watch the Egyptian army wash up on the beach.

What leads a nation, or a single man, who has received so much by the grace of God to murmur against and question God's willingness to provide the simplest of things? Foolishness. To forget his blessings is to refuse his blessing. Don't forget. Remember and rejoice. And they came to Elim, where were 12 wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees and they camped there by the waters. Exo 15:27

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom 8:32. How is it daughter, son, that God will not give you all things together with Christ? What have you forgotten of His mercies toward you? Remember, receive, be happy.
