Psalm 105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
In the midst of an arduous desert journey with no food or water, the people complained again and again against Moses and God. But while complaining, they also prayed and asked the Lord for help. He heard their prayer and miraculously provided meat and manna in abundance. It is a sin of unbelief to complain, but it is a response of faith to ask.
In spite of their rebellion and unbelief, the Lord heard and answered their prayer and provided food for them, a horde of quail and bread from heaven. Because of all that God has done for us and our salvation, we too, still remember to ask; for along with our doubts, and mixed in with them, is a little faith, enough to ask for help. Our life is mixed with doubt and faith, but He is loving and gracious to hear our prayer and answer with provision of need. Complaining offends and prayer pleases. God’s love is stronger than our doubts and fears.
How quickly we can forget what the Lord has done. For this reason we need reminders of the gospel of grace, so we go to church and spend time with God, praying in faith. So we ask!
