This story covers the events that happened between the crossing of the Red Sea and the giving of the Law at Mt Sinai. It is taken from Exodus, chapters 16 – 17. The story begins with the death of the Egyptian army at the Red Sea. The rest of the story is how the Israelites grumble all the way to Mt Sinai. God makes bitter water drinkable, provides them quail and manna to eat, brings water out of the rock, and gives them victory against an army that attacks them. The story is told by John Walsh and is a part of the series, Lesser-known Stories of the Old Testament. Be sure to check out the devotional that was written to go along with this story - Grumblings of a Truck Driver or the user-contributed sermon outline. Comments (2)

It seems that we seldom give the Israelites credit for walking those three days without complaining. They must have been so thirsty and their children complaining to them relentlessly. I would have grumbled much earlier than they did, I think. When they thought God's plan had finally been revealed, it turned out bitter.
How many of us have waited so long, only to settle or turn away in our disappointment, when God's "almost provision" didn't deliver. This story encourages me that God's plan may yet be right around the corner (in the Bible version, they continue on to a beautiful oasis with twelve springs and 70 palm trees!)
