About this episode
We live in a world that is drowning in blessings and yet is perpetually discontent. Modern man is the most comfortable, well-fed, and technologically advanced creature to ever walk the earth, and he is also the most anxious, medicated, and querulous. This is because grumbling is not a problem of circumstance; it is a problem of the heart. To grumble is to file a formal complaint against the management of the universe. It is to look the sovereign God in the face and inform Him that He is botching the job. The children of Israel, fresh from the spectacular deliverance of the Red Sea, have already forgotten the miracle. Their necks still damp from the parted waters, they are now complaining about the menu. They have exchanged the worship of their Deliverer for the worship of their stomachs.
