SO Glad I Did NOT Live in the Time of Moses

 I am listening to the New International Version of the Bible.

I am not very far; in Leviticus to be exact.  The Israelites are complaining about not having meat to eat.  They wish they were back in Egypt where they had meat.  

Now, the thing is, I just HEAR MYSELF IN THAT situation.

Murmur, murmur, murmur....mumble, complain, murmur some more.

And, I don't like knowing that about myself.

I'm just so grateful to live in this day and age.  I have so much to be grateful for and yet, I still find myself grumbling at times.

When will I ever learn?

Once again, this scripture points out the WILL TO LIVE!  Zerahemnah makes a promise he is not likely to keep because of his strong desire to LIVE.  Life is so precious... I know that I want to live, but I want to LIVE with Heavenly Father in the hereafter.  II've made so many stupid decisions in my life that I don't want to blow this one last final decision... TO LIVE WITH GOD!  That is my heart's desire, most of all.

It makes me realize how grateful I will be to have PEACE when the Saviour comes.  It cannot come soon enough for me.
