“May
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to
you, O
Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14 NLT
How often did the Levites
break camp in Israel's forty years of wandering? I can hear them
grumble, “Oh, no. We're moving again!”
Numbers 4 describes the Lord as a God of order. He told Moses to organize a large crew (8,580) of Levites, each with a certain duty to perform when disassembling and moving the tabernacle.

The Israelites complained about the menu and when God changed the
menu. Leading a whining people
stressed Moses, causing him to protest to God concerning his
leadership responsibilities.
Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses'
marriage to a foreign women after his wife Zipporah died. The Lord
showed His anger with Moses'
brother and sister. Did they not think God heard them complain?
“Aaron and Miriam! Front and center!” My version of
Numbers 12:5.
God gave them no
opportunity to explain their sin. He read their hearts; leprosy
became the punishment.
O Lord, help me never to complain. I don't want to “travel around
the same mountain for forty years”. I know You hear my every word
and read my private thoughts. Cleanse my heart and mind today!
