They wilfully put God to the test
by demanding the food they craved.
They spoke against God;

Psalm 78:18-20
We (I) need to be mindful to not subconsciously think like what the psalmist described in Psalm 78:18-20. The balance of the psalm warns why – the wrath we face for an ungrateful, greedy or disbelieving heart.
We need to trust in Him even if our faith feels weak and we don’t see how He is going to answer our cries for help. If we are unsure or worried about whether God will see us through, we should strengthen our belief (Mark 9:24) and ask the Lord to help us with our unbelief. Our Father is capable of all things, including those we are unable to fathom.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26

I encourage you to stand strong in your faith during the difficult situations you face. He will see you through.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
