ACCUSING GOD WRONGLY
4 THEN THEY journeyed FROM MOUNT HOR BY THE WAY OF THE RED SEA, TO GO AROUND THE LAND OF EDOM; AND THE SOUL OF THE PEOPLE BECAME VERY DISCOURAGED ON THE WAY.
5 AND THE PEOPLE SPOKE AGAINST GOD AND AGAINST MOSES: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”
Numbers 21:4,5 (NKJV)
When you are in a distress, discouraged and despondent, you should be careful of what you speak or say to God. Whatever the suffering, predicament or distress, you should know that God is not the cause; thus, you should not be angry with God, neither should you speak against Him or His delegated authority over your life: "AND THE PEOPLE SPOKE AGAINST GOD AND AGAINST MOSES: “WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT US UP OUT OF EGYPT TO DIE IN THE WILDERNESS? FOR THERE IS NO FOOD AND NO WATER, AND OUR SOUL LOATHES THIS WORTHLESS BREAD" (Numbers 21:5 NKJV).
READ: Numbers 21:4,5; 1 Corinthians 10:9-11).
Another thing is, do not speak against what God is doing or about to do in your life, If you did, It means you are blaming Him. You may not verbally blame Him but your complaining inferred or suggested or connoted that you are blaming Him: “WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT US UP OUT OF EGYPT TO DIE IN THE WILDERNESS?"
The good intention of God was misconstrued, they said He brought them to the wilderness to kill them. Whereas God saw them under the oppression and burden of slavery, crying and groaning (Exodus 3:7-9), and He had compassion for them, sent a deliverer to bring them out of the slavery; but now they are saying He, God, has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness (Exodus 3:9,10).
Whatever you are passing through, do not accuse God wrongly. God is always right. He is not of evil and He cannot do evil, and no evil is found in Him. Every good gift is from Him: "EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, AND COMES DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, WITH WHOM THERE IS NO VARIATION OR SHADOW OF TURNING" (James 1:17 NKJV).
Whatever comes from God is good and perfect, thus, do not attribute your bad condition or situation to Him; He is not the cause (James 1:13-15).
When you speak against God or His delegated authority, you give occasion to the adversary, the devil, to blaspheme or revile or abuse God.
Note:
a. Whatever you may be passing through, always know that God has your best interest at heart.
b. Know that God cannot mismanage your life and destiny.
c. Always know that in every situation and condition, God meant well for you. Even when It seems there is no hope in what He said you should do; He meant well for you, and the end outcome of it would be good and great.
Thus, If you had these notions and convictions in your mind, you would not find fault in whatever God asked you to do and whatever He permitted you to go through. You would not be blaming Him either for the predicament or distress you might be in.
Whatever the burden is, I declare your release, your freedom, now, in Jesus' mighty name.
Peace.
