'They Complained And Did Not Believe.'
John 6:41.
a) The Jews then murmured and grumbled about Jesus.
b) Because He said:
c) "I am the Bread that came down from Heaven.
(Through this QT I can clearly see the Jews' rejection of Jesus: They Complained And Did Not Believe)
PRAYER: That we will not complain, but that we will Believe the Words of Jesus.

'God Was Not Looking For Sacrifices And Offerings.'
Psalm 40:6.
a) Sacrifice And Offering You did not desire.
b) But my ears You have opened -
c) Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
d) 1 Samuel 15:22. God is looking for our obedience.
e) Psalm 51:16. God does not delight in sacrifice.
f) Isaiah 66:3. It is meaningless to offer "offerings" to God and yet live our own selfish way.
(This Second one reminds me that God Was Not Looking For Sacrifices And Offerings)
PRAYER: For God to help us to obey Him.

The Jews complained and did not Believe. We can see from the Bible that a common sin of the assembly of God's People is complaining. We can find this so many times. Complaining robs us of active Faith and of the Blessing of God. Complaining, without taking any constructive and just action to put right the wrongs, is just like an angry baby, crying in a pram.
