"Superfluous"

"He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: and he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations." (Psalms 78:27-28) You have got to see the humor in what God did in this situation, because this was no ordinary migration of birds, this was superfluous! That means it was 'unnecessary, especially through being more than enough.' Have you ever gotten more of something you wanted than you could stand? I think a good example would be rain, because it is so easy to relate to, especially in my line of work. We ask God for rain, and then to rains constantly for several weeks; so much so, that you're begging Him to stop the rain so that you can go back to work. I am sure that is what happened, because there was no way those people could stand the abundance of dead birds all around their tents; they couldn't eat them fast enough, because there was no refrigerators for them to save them for later. I am pretty sure that they had a little fly problem soon to follow; probably a little odor problem also. But you know, I think God does that more often then we might realize. Say your into something that you're not really meant to be into, something like porn or drugs; I think that if we don't yield to the Holy Spirit's voice, and stop what we are doing, then God will allow us to become obsessed with whatever we are doing; to the point of being overwhelmed and destroyed by whatever it is. It like God is saying, "Okay, you want to play with that, then I will let it play with you!" It's pretty much a consequence of our actions, not so much God's doing; because in truth, God does not cause or tempt anyone to sin; if anything, He warns us not to do something, and even provides a way of escape, but He never puts us in a situation where we have to sin. The devil might do that, and there are tons of times I remember that he has. I remember one time (of many,) where I was determined to not look at any pornography, and wouldn't you know, the next vacant house that I inspected had a treasure chest full of porn. I'm sure that does not happen to anyone else; but it is rather hard to run away from, mostly because you wonder what you might be missing. Those are teachable moments in our ability to withstand temptation, to say the least. How would you do? Most of the time I did pretty good, considering; but then again, I almost always took a peak; and just a little peak is more than enough, to need "The Christian Bar of Soap"...
"Now the LORD sent a wind that brought quail from the sea and let them all fall all around the camp. For miles in every direction there were quail flying about three feet off the ground. So the people went out and caught quail all that day and throughout the night and all the next day, too. No one gathered less than fifty bushels! They spread the quail all around the camp to dry. But while they were gorging themselves on the meat -while it was still in their mouths -the anger of the LORD blazed against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague. So that place was called Kibrothhattaavah (which means "graves of gluttony") because there they buried the people who had craved meat from Egypt." (Numbers 11:31-34) NLT
