I have had the same thought, Auntie. Sometimes He even sounds like a mean God to me.

I know we've said this before but, I am still amazed at how over all our sinful human nature never seems to change. One day the Israelites are all about God and the very next day they start complaining and wishing they never left Egypt. Oh, how we do the same thing.

I didn't remember that after the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron that they decided to get up early the next morning and go into the promised land. They realized that they had sinned, but they didn't ask for forgiveness. Wonder if the outcome would have been different had they first made sacrifices to God, then gone to the Promise Land?
