Numbers 11:31-35 (HCSB)
Quail in the Camp
31 A wind sent by the Lord came up and blew quail in from the sea; it dropped them at the camp all around, three feet off the ground, about a day’s journey in every direction. 32 The people were up all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quail—the one who took the least gathered 50 bushels—and they spread them out all around the camp.
33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the Lord’s anger burned against the people, and the Lord struck them with a very severe plague. 34 So they named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved the meat.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth and remained there.

The passage speaks to God's great power and abundant provision, reminding us that He is a God of more than enough. As I read today's scripture, I couldn't help but reflect on my personal experience. For much of my life, I struggled with alcohol, but today, I am grateful to be clean and sober for a little over four years. An AA saying, "One is too many, and a thousand is never enough," perfectly captures the desire I once had to consume alcohol. While reading this scripture, I noticed a parallel between the Israelites' intense desire for meat and my past cravings for alcohol. That desire brought a great deal of destruction and chaos into my life. Like the story of the Israelites, my struggle with alcohol ended in a kind of death, not a physical one, but a spiritual death. However, that spiritual death ultimately led to my transformation. Today, I have a renewed spirit because I have learned that I have more than enough in Jesus. When I put Him first, my life is fulfilled, and a lasting peace replaces the cravings for the things of this world. Is God more than enough for you today?
