Life is not fair!

Life is not fair,  there will always be those who have more or seem to have more. The government even takes less out of their paycheck. Paul says “godliness with contentment is great gain”. Be thankful for what you have first. More things will not satisfy. Rem you will not take things into. Heaven. Do we not have food and clothing? Even our poor in America are pushing shopping carts with clothing. How many times do we meet people who would tell you they are poor driving fine cars living in nice houses? Has not God always provided ? Can He not provide for each tomorrow? Will He not provide? Then why worry or carp?
Numbers 20 1-13
How Bad It Is
They just walked into the wilderness. Sometimes we walk into the wild and expect to walk out the next day. But God has lessons for each of us and lessons take time. 
Miriam sister to Moses and Aaron is dead. I never have had a sister except as an in law, but I know there are times when having one around who is related and knows what you’ve been through would be nice, but also with times of disagreement. But Miriam is gone. Don’t you know Moses wrestled with loss.? 
Now the people he’s trying to lead assemble against him.
If only we were dead. You brought us here 
You lead us out of Egypt. Did we not have food and water there?
There are no grain, no vines with grapes, no pomegranates. 
There is no water:The real complaint. 
Moses and Aaron’s response:The tent of meeting with God
We know Moses had been there many times.
He gave the problem to God. And He gives them the solution 
Have I given the problem to Him?
Have I heard His response or have I come up with my solution?
God's solution: Speak to the rock. But Moses heard that is the rock 
Have I heard God correctly?
Did I listen?
Moses did hear take the staff
But he strikes the rock.
But God is merciful to the people and gives them water anyway
