BETTER
Today's reading: Exodus 16-18

"Oh, that we were back in Egypt, they moaned. It would have been better if the Lord had killed us there! At least there we had plenty to eat. But now you have brought us into this desert to starve us to death." Exodus 16:3 NLT

Better-greater than half; improved in health or mental attitude; more attractive, favorable or commendable; more advantageous or effective; improved in accuracy or performance.

Really, children of Israel? Really?

You honestly believe that being slaves was better than the sandy walk you're on?

That being owned by another and used for their intents and purposes is better than the inconvenience of a growling stomach?

You think death in Egypt would be better than life in a land flowing with milk and honey?

That the routine of slavery is better than the promise of freedom?

That anything a pharaoh might offer is better than the promises of God?

That less than our Creator's grandest plan is better for us?

Little dramatic, don't you think?

Oh, for the reminder!
