Exodus 16:1-36

“Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you. Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they need for that day. I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they will gather food, and when they prepare it, there will be twice as much as usual.’” v4-5

“Then Moses said to Aaron, ”Announce this to the entire community of Israel: ‘Present yourselves before the LORD, for he has heard your complaining.” And as Aaron spoke to the whole community of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. There they could see the awesome glory of the LORD in the cloud.” v9-10
After much complaining and questioning, God proved Himself once again to have thing in control by meeting the Israelites need for food. He provided manna from heaven for the morning and quail at night. Each person had enough for that day. On the sixth day they were to gather a double portion to last throughout the sabbath (seventh day, a day of rest).

Even though the Israelites directed the blame and questioned Moses, he still realized that they were questioning God not him. He was just the messenger. It is easier to complain than it is to trust. Moses had a great perspective on this and how he related to the people.
