"If only we had died by the LORD's hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death."Were these really the same Israelites who cried out and groaned about the tough work in Egypt? Here we see them willing to trade the freedom God had already promised them for "pots of meat"! In doing so, they'd be giving up something of great value for something worth so little in comparison. These Israelites would severely shortchange themselves themselves if they allowed themselves to be too easily satisfied.
