Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread or provide meat for his people?"

Yes, we demand a prosperity gospel, we want to live with all the toys and accouterments of the materialistic culture around us. Never satisfied, always coveting the temporal and unable to fasten our eyes on the eternal.
