Are You Complaining!

Are You Complaining!

The LORD said to Moses: Tell the people of Israel to turn back and camp between Migdol and the Red Sea. The king will think they were afraid to cross the desert, trying to find another way to leave the country. I will make the king stubborn again, and he will try to catch you. Then I will destroy him and his army. People everywhere will praise me for my victory, and the Egyptians will know that I really am the LORD. The Israelites obeyed the LORD and camped where he told them. When the king of Egypt heard that the Israelites had finally left, he and his officials changed their minds and said, "Look what we have done! We let them get away, and they will no longer be our slaves." The king got his war chariot and army ready. He commanded his officers in charge of his 600 best chariots to start after the Israelites. The LORD made the king so stubborn that he went after them. The and caught up with them while they were camping by the Red Sea. When the Israelites saw the king coming with his army, they were frightened and begged the LORD for help. They also complained to Moses, "Wasn't there enough room in Egypt to bury us? Is that why you brought us out here to die in the desert? Why did you bring us out of Egypt anyway? While we were there, didn't we tell you to leave us alone? We had rather be slaves in Egypt than die in this desert!" So the Israelites had the Egyptians at their back and the red sea in the front. There was no way to escape. Do you think the Lord will rescue them! Let’s see tomorrow!

Lesson to be Learnt:

The Israelites had seen so many miracles done by the Lord before they left Egypt. But the moment they saw the Egyptians they started complaining and got worried. Instead if they had just spent a moment thinking and thanking God who had saved them till this time. They might not have worried so much. Today are we behaving the same way like the Israelites. If so shall we take an oath not to panic in times of trouble, but take time to thank and praise the Lord for all His mercies that has carried us so far.

 Isaiah 41:10

(CEV)  Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories.

(Hindi) मत डर, क्योंकि मैं तेरे संग हूं, इधर उधर मत ताक, क्योंकि मैं तेरा परमेश्वर हूं? मैं तुझे दृढ़ करूंगा और तेरी सहाथता करूंगा, अपके धर्ममय दहिने हाथ से मैं तुझे सम्हाले रहूंगा।।

(Kan) ನೀನಂತೂ ಹೆದರಬೇಡ; ನಾನೇ ನಿನ್ನೊಂದಿಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ದಿಗ್ಭ್ರಮೆಗೊಳ್ಳದಿರು. ನಾನೇ ನಿನ್ನ ದೇವರು; ನಾನು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಬಲಪಡಿ ಸುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಹೌದು, ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡು ತ್ತೇನೆ. ಹೌದು, ನನ್ನ ನೀತಿಯ ಬಲಗೈಯಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿ ಹಿಡಿಯುತ್ತೇನೆ.

(Mal) ഞാന്‍ നിന്നോടുകൂടെ ഉണ്ടു; ഭ്രമിച്ചുനോക്കേണ്ടാ, ഞാന്‍ നിന്റെ ദൈവം ആകുന്നു; ഞാന്‍ നിന്നെ ശക്തീകരിക്കും; ഞാന്‍ നിന്നെ സഹായിക്കും; എന്റെ നീതിയുള്ള വലങ്കൈകൊണ്ടു ഞാന്‍ നിന്നെ താങ്ങും,

(Tamil OV)  நீ பயப்படாதே, நான் உன்னுடனே இருக்கிறேன்; திகையாதே, நான் உன் தேவன்; நான் உன்னைப் பலப்படுத்தி உனக்குச் சகாயம்பண்ணுவேன்; என் நீதியின் வலதுகரத்தினால் உன்னைத் தாங்குவேன்.

(Telugu)  నీవు నా దాసుడవనియు నేను నిన్ను ఉపేక్షింపక యేర్పరచుకొంటిననియు నేను నీతో చెప్పియున్నాను నీకు తోడైయున్నాను భయపడకుము నేను నీ దేవుడనై యున్నాను దిగులుపడకుము నేను నిన్ను బలపరతును నీకు సహాయము చేయువాడను నేనే నీతియను నా దక్షిణహస్తముతో నిన్ను ఆదుకొం దును.
God Will Make a Way!
