When we complain about our circumstances to others, we’re effectively (though usually unintentionally) accusing God and slandering his character. We’re saying, God doesn’t care, God doesn’t know what he’s doing, and God can’t do anything about this.
These are serious and dangerous slanders against God. But Exodus 16:1-12 helps us move from complaining to praising by showing us how complaints are a heart problem not a God problem.

As I record this podcast, my 81-year-old Dad has just died. He suffered a number of strokes and declined rapidly in the past few weeks. I’m only in my fifties, but I’ve already had a number of illnesses. Sickness and disease cast a long shadow over our lives. We worry about getting sick. We struggle to see any purpose in it. And even with the marvels of modern medicine, we can’t get over it. It’s a dark shadow. So let’s take the light of God’s word and lighten it by looking at what God teaches about his sovereignty over sickness in Exodus 15:22-27.

Our greatest problem is that we cannot save ourselves. I remember many times in my teens and early twenties trying to do so. I turned over so many new leaves that I think I’m responsible for the deforestation of the Amazon. I tried so hard, then I gave up, then I blamed God, then I tried harder, then I gave up, then I blamed God, and on and on it went.
Perhaps you’ve been in or are in the same desperate dilemma. Wanting to change but unable to change. Wanting to be saved but unable to save yourself. Well, thankfully, in my early twenties, I found an amazing solution to this desperate dilemma and I want to share it with you. The passage that God used in my life was Exodus 14.
