They got into big trouble by murmuring and complaining against Moses and God!

It's easy to find circumstances that will discourage us if we look at them.
Focusing on symptoms of sickness, disease and pain in our bodies can be very discouraging but we choose what we're going to look at.
We can set our eyes and attention on the circumstances we face or on our great God and His ability to take them from us!
