Wilderness
with Bo Sanchez and Audee Villaraza – May 14, 2023
Talk 3:
Stop Complaining– Start Trusting
We continue our new series, Wilderness, our teaching series on Numbers, the fourth book of the Bible.
Just in case there are members who are not familiar with this story, start with this BRIEF RECAP:
Joseph, the 11th of Jacob’s 12 sons, could interpret dreams. He dreamt that his brothers would bow to him. Hating Joseph for his dream, the brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt. Later, Joseph interpreted a dream of Egypt’s Pharaoh that there would be a seven-year worldwide famine. So, the Pharaoh made Joseph second in command in Egypt to stockpile grains in preparation for the famine.
The famine happened and learning that Egypt had food, the Israelites migrated to Egypt. In time, after Joseph’s death, succeeding Pharaohs subjugated the Israelites who became slaves in Egypt for close to 400 years –until the time of Moses who was sent by God to set the Israelites free.
In the book of Numbers, we see the Israelites out of Egypt, now on their way to the land God promised them.
Talk 1 is about how God took care of the Israelites throughout their journey.
The key message is God Is with You in Your Wilderness.
The lesson is: In our most difficult times, we are not alone. God is with us.
Talk 2 focuses on how the Israelites negotiated the wilderness—how they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command.
The key message is: Move when God moves; Stay when God stays.
Talk 3 presents a major problem of the Israelites while they are still in the wilderness.
The key message: Stop Complaining, Start Celebrating

Finally, recall the sublime words spoken on the day of the Annunciation-- "Nothing is impossible with God," and ...

Reading 1 Sir 35:1-12 To keep the law is a great oblation,and he who observes the commandments sacrifices a peace offering.In works of charity one offers fine flour,and when he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise.To refrain from evil pleases the LORD,and to avoid injustice is an atonement.Appear not before the LORD empty-handed,for all that you offer is in fulfillment of the precepts.The just one's offering enriches the altarand rises as a sweet odor before the Most High.The just one's sacrifice is most pleasing,nor will it ever be forgotten.In a generous spirit pay homage to the LORD,be not
