Focused? On God or the world? Numbers 11:4-6

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
    Numbers 11:4-6 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat! We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna! (to hear Numbers 11 click here)
    Dissatisfaction comes when our attention shifts from what we have to what we don't have.  The people of Israel had GOD, but they listened to others, the rabble (non-Israelites) and started complaining.  How often do you find your self doing this very thing?  Taking your eyes off God!
    This is like a spouse or close friend that fails to see what you are doing for them, but what you are not doing for them.  You get tired of hearing the complaints.  So doth the LORD, our GOD.  He does so much for us, yet we forget or fail to acknowledge this and begin comlaining.
   The Israelites forgot the brutal whip of the Egyptians and longed for the food they were given (v. 5) How short was their memory; how short is your memory?  Are you grateful for what GOD has given you or are you always thinking about what you would like to have?
    God has given you life, family, friends, food, health, work--are you not satisfied?  What occupies your mind the most?  God, and his bounties to you; OR, what you don't have?  Stay focused my friend!! Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
