Grumble not

In Exodus 15: 1-18 the Israelites gave an awesome rendition and exaltation to the Most High God for saving them from the Egyptians. In vs. 21 the women of Israel joined Prophetess Miriam in praising God for delivering them from Pharaoh and his army. Shortly after in vs. 24 the people of Israel grumbled against Moses asking "What are we to drink?” Exodus 17:3 recorded “The people thirst for water there and they grumbled against Moses. They said “why did you bring us out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?” 
One would have thought that seeing and experiencing all the miraculous things that God did to bring them out of Egypt and saving them from Pharaoh and his army would have ensured firm faith and immovable trust in God Almighty who can do all things. But they kept grumbling and complaining just like we do from time to time.
The question for us today is—why grumble? Why do we complain when we experience difficulties and set backs? We beam up to God when our expectations are met and complain and grumble if the reverse happens. We ought to learn to trust God at all times. In good and in bad times, learn to trust God. He is God in good times and remains God in bad times. HE IS SAME ALWAYS HE NERVER CHANGES. GOD IS ALMIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL, HE ALONE CAN DO ALL THINGS. EVERYTHING THAT IS WONDERFUL IS OUR GOD’S ATTRIBUTE. He has power to bring goodness to us and also has the power to change bad situations to good. OUR GOD IS THE GREAT PROVIDER.
Anytime we come to a cross road instead of grumbling and complaining, we should praise God and HE WILL SURELY TAKE CARE OF OUR SITUATION. Grumble not dear brothers and sisters for God is always in control.
