Do you ever regret that God saved you? Israel did. They spent generations crying out to God for liberation. Then they finally heard God command Pharaoh to let his people go and watched as he sent ten plagues of persuasion. In jubilee, they traveled through the Red Sea to Mount Sinai, where they covenanted themselves to their Redeemer. Here we expect the happily-ever-after to begin. Instead, we see Israel come down from her high tower, walk past the slain dragon, and start objecting to her King, distrusting him, regretting that he had come for her at all. All this at the beginning of the honeymoon. One complaint follows another. She doesn’t have water; she grumbles. She doesn’t have food; she grumbles. She doesn’t have the right kind of food; she grumbles. More than that, she weeps. She has an unshakable, intense desire for meat, not Wonderbread. Was she really saved from slavery to become a vegetarian? That’s when she begins to remember.
