The Israelites should have remembered that God had assured them that when they reached their new home, they would enjoy an abundant material things. That promise was to be fulfilled in the Promised Land, not while they were traveling in the wilderness.

(Psalm 136:11, 12) So when we are under trial, we should not doubt that Jehovah's hand will reach us personally. - PSALM 138, 6, 7.
