Main Idea: Ingratitude leads us to long for something other than God’s provision. (Numbers 11)
Summary
In Numbers 11, the Israelites complain about their monotonous diet of manna during their wilderness journey, demonstrating ingratitude and dissatisfaction with God's provision. As a result of their persistent grumbling, God sends an overwhelming number of quail to the camp and simultaneously strikes the people with a severe plague as punishment for their rebellious attitude.

Review Questions
- How is complaining the opposite of gratitude?
- God responds to the Israelites' complaints with both provision (quail) and judgment (a plague), demonstrating both His generosity and His stance against persistent ingratitude. What does this teach us about the balance between God's mercy and His expectations for His people's attitudes?
