What's the overarching story or the overarching principle in the stories that have to do with the children of Israel and Egypt don't complain and
Don't complain especially about your food and that sometimes in life. You have to eat the same food over and over again
Look, I didn't complain when I had to eat Chipotle every day for years and years when I was on the road all the time
traveling
That's because Chipotle is awesome
And
Sometimes I got a little burned out and I'd go into Chipotle and I was just like
I don't know if I can do another burrito and then it was like the crunchy tacos. It's totally different
It's a totally different meal, you know
And then you know and then I got me through
So, you know we need to apply this to our life in a way that's real to us
And you say well, that's not what it was intended. That's exactly what it was intended
These stories were intended to be applied to today
And to be applied unto our situation not to just be kept. Oh, well that was just for Corinth
You know, oh that was just for the children of Israel. Oh that was just for them

Hey God doesn't and I hope every child is listening because you know children are the ones who complain about their food the most

You know, I don't know what the menu is like in your house, but whatever it is you stop complaining about it
Your parents work hard. They love you

And I know you wish that you could have sugary cereals and hot dogs and cheeseburgers at every meal
but you need to broaden your little palate a little bit and eat what they give you and
God and the Bible says even a child is known by his doings whether his work be pure and whether it be right
even God is looking down upon children and
Expects children to obey the Lord and expects children to do right and he said children obey your parents in the Lord
For this is right honor thy father and mother
Which is the first command with promise that it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the earth
God is saying your life will be cut short
You'll be punished it will not go well for you if you do not obey your parents and honor your parents say well
I'm 18 now if you're still living at home you obey your parents
period when you get married and
Establish a family of your own is when you can start being the boss
But when you're living at home with your parents you obey your parents. Well, I'm 13. I'm 15. I'm 18. I'm 21
That means nothing
You're under authority if you're living in their home. They're the boss
