Scripture study on Numbers 11 - 14

From Complaints to Apostasy

The Wilderness is designed for the Spirit and not the flesh. Israel travelled through the Wilderness to get Egypt out of them. It was also to test them to see what was in their hearts. The whole wilderness experience was a big test to expose their weaknesses and to teach them to walk in His Ways. Even the manna He gave them was to test them:

Exo 16:4 Then YHVH said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain amount every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My Law or not.

We see two things here that we normally do not think about; YHVH provides and in His provision is a test to help you so that you can learn to keep a balance. He gave them what they needed but not what they wanted. This shows us that YHVH is more interested in your spiritual growth than your physical comfort. Y’shua even said in Matt 5:30 that if your hand causes you to stumble, you should cut it off so that you may at least enter His Kingdom than to be lost with a perfect body.
