In Exodus, when the Israelites came out of Egypt, they grumbled on several occassions. Now, for one instance, they grumbled for food.
16:3 'Would that we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt, when sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full;...'
Then the Lord rained down bread from heaven the next morning.
I know it is difficult to speak for God, but does anyone have any insight as to why God would act on there behalf then immediately? What do you think they should have done while they went in the wilderness without eating? Or barely, I suppose, they may have been eating dates from the seventy date palms they camped beside some time earlier. I suppose they should just have believed the Lord would provide and waited patiently. Of course it sounds like (many of us, me included), they were whining children.
But I'm trying to figure out why God frequently let them get to that point, and then provided right away.

Several things:

1. Trust Him always. That is why you are put in those instances so He can show you that you really need His help. He is the Creator and in control of everything.

2. To teach you to be obedient to His commands. He created everything, so He can do whatever He wants. All things were created for HIS GLORY.

3. He hates certain attitudes. Read Revelation 21:8 and see who ends up in the lake of fire. Specialy He does not like a proud heart.

4. He takes you to the edge so you can learn how to ENDURE and to be RESILIENT. He knows your limits. 2 good qualities.

5. He punishes those that are desobediente like the Father of us all. Read all about in the Bible. So many instances that should teach us not to be desobedients. However, many souls do not want to see the truth.

6. Yeshua has given advice to all the churches that have existed in Earth since He left it. Special instructions to the church of today: the lukewarm church of Laodicea. We should buy from Him 3 things:

a. Refined gold
b. White garments
c. Eye salve

Go and find out what those 3 things are. Also find out what were the characteristics of that church because it reflects the attitude of today's church.

Jesus will vomit it out of His mouth. His own words.

CHURCH OF TODAY: WAKE UP, YOU NEED TO CHANGE QUICKLY.

God never did anything to completely wipe out all Jews, although Scripture mentions he wanted to (Moses stopped him in once instance). What we see is God expressing his love for the Jews alternating with punishing them (for the good of their descendants). The sinful nature seizes the opportunity when people are happy and comfortable to make them addicted to those.

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! (Isaiah 49:15, 1984 NIV)

God reveals something about his nature here, not a decision he made.

As amadeois said, God lets trials and tribulations come to us to try our faith, to test our character.
