Bill and I bounce around supper menu suggestions and one of us may say, “Nothing
sounds good.” I hear something similar from my 94-year-old mother-in-law who,
like other elderly people, will say that nothing tastes like it used to, hence nothing is appealing. During the Exodus the Israelites grumbled because their pots of
food and the amount of food didn’t compare with what they had in Egypt. God addressed
their discontent by providing manna and quail as they wondered for 40 years in
the desert. I’m now wondering how the nothing-sounds-good-to-me phrase falls on
God’s ears today. Moses might very well say to us, “Come before the LORD, for
he has heard your grumbling” (Ex 16:9b NIV).
