"Then the LORD said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power?" 

(November 11:23)

It almost seems as if Moses has a moment of faith crisis. God has informed Moses that the people will have so much meat to eat that they will tire of it and vomit it. But Moses responds, “There are 600,000 foot soldiers here with me, and yet you say, ‘I will give them meat for a whole month!’ Even if we butchered all our flocks and herds, would that satisfy them? Even if we caught all the fish in the sea, would that be enough?” What?? God has just told Moses food will be provided and Moses is questioning God, Jehovah Jireh (God who provides).  Or perhaps Moses thinks he's going to have to do all the work; catch the fish or butcher the livestock. What did Moses know? He knew he couldn't do all the work. 

Why do we so often fail to believe God? It was clear God was going to provide food. God reassures Moses  Listen to God voice:  "Then the LORD said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power?" ( November 11:23)

I don't know about your god, but my God is still all-powerful. How are you going to trust our all-powerful God?
