A Place to Quarrel!

Psalm 81: 7
7 In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.


Meribah was actually called a place of “quarreling”.
This is where God’s people, argued with their God.
Can you imagine having a disagreement with God?
I can’t being to wonder why people accuse God of wrong doing.
God is constantly in the business of testing our trust in Him.
These people had a short memory, and had forgotten what God had done at the Red Sea.
But after all this complaining, God still answered their prayer.
He answered their cries for help.
When we are in trouble, God answers us, but we may have to wait a while before He supplies our need.
Maybe the wait time, is for filtering out some of the bad attitudes we have.
The Bible says that God “abhors”, complaining and fussing.
Yet in His great mercy, He still answers us.
Even in time spent in the wilderness, God doesn’t let us wait forever.
Maybe He has a plan in letting us wait.

Even in our sin and rebellion, He is still there to meet our needs. Wow, what a God…
