The core of this message comes down to this important question: If God knows our needs, why does he let us get uncomfortable? We don’t like being uncomfortable, but the truth is that discomfort often exposes important things in us and is the most efficient way for God to shift our desires. Often what we view as needs are simply worldly desires, which when elevated, become idols and lead us to destruction. The discomfort that the Hebrews face in the wilderness exposes what’s really in their heart. Until we’re tested with obedience, we don’t understand that to correctly enjoy what God does provide, we must desire God above all else.
