1. I must tell myself a story, a story.

“If only the LORD had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned.  “There we sat around pots filled with meat and ate all the bread we wanted. But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.”

We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted.

The LORD who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!
