What comes out of these beleaguered souls (only about 45 days out of Egypt) is bitterness. They feel under pressure and they begin looking for someone to blame (Don’t we DO that? Look for someone to blame!) and the most convenient target for this bitterness, accusations, quarreling and grumbling is our man Moses. It’s a little like blaming the weatherman for the weather. And it’s all a case study and vivid revelation of a dynamic in our OWN souls – our propensity toward blaming and complaining and bitterness, that is ultimately (whether we see it or not) ultimately aimed at God.

Lets look at:
1) Bitterness
2) God’s Peculiar Response and
3) What Happens When We Grasp the Response
(or, better, when IT gets hold of us).
