Exodus17:2
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide you with me? Wherefore do ye tempt the LORD ?
By distrusting Gods power and providence, and faithfulness and goodness, upon such a small occasion, by refusing to submit to Gods will, and to wait upon him by humble and servent prayers for relief, and in stead thereof quarrelling with me as if it were my fault, and murmuring against God under my name.
