What is BIBLE?
Bible is a collection of 72 books that contains the words, commandments, promises, and the life of God. It is divided into two parts: The Old Testament and The New Testament.
Leviticus 4:22
- When a leader sins and unintentionally does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty,
Matthew 6:19-21
Do not store up for yourselves on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.
PRAYER IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO.
PRAYER
It is a communication to God. It helps you strenghten your mind, your body, and your soul.
FORMS OF PRAYER -
Various spiritual traditions offer a wide variety of devotional acts. There are morning and evening prayers, graces said over meals, and reverent physical gestures. Some Christians bow their heads and fold their hands.
Prayer has many different forms. Prayer may be done privately and individually, or it may be done corporately in the presence of fellow believers. Prayer can be incorporated into a daily "thought life", in which one is in constant communication with a god. Some people pray throughout all that is happening during the day and seek guidance as the day progresses. This is actually regarded as a requirement in several Christian denominations, although enforcement is not possible nor desirable. There can be many different answers to prayer, just as there are many ways to interpret an answer to a question, if there in fact comes an answer. Some may experience audible, physical, or mental epiphanies. If indeed an answer comes, the time and place it comes is considered random. Some outward acts that sometimes accompany prayer are: anointing with oil, ringing a bell, burning incense or paper, lighting a candle or candles, facing a specific direction, making the sign of the cross. One less noticeable act related to prayer is FASTING.

How to Teach Your Children Not to Complain
When the Israelites were in the wilderness, they were guided by the Lord. He took the form of a cloud which hovered above the Ark of the Covenant, where the Ten Commandments were kept. Whenever the cloud settled on the ark, the people would set up camp, and whenever it lifted from the ark, the people would break camp and follow it.
One day, while the Israelites were camped in the wilderness of Sinai, near the Lord's mountain, the cloud lifted from the ark. The people rose to follow, but they did not know that a terrible fate awaited them that day. And they did not know that it would be due to them being in a bit of a cranky mood...
Judah's troops led the way with the rest of the tribes following. Dan's troops went last, serving as a rear guard. While they traveled, the ark would sometimes be set down so the people could rest. Whenever it was set down, Moses would shout, “Return, O Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel!” And whenever the ark set out again Moses would shout, “Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered! Let them flee before you!”
The people were headed to a place called the wilderness of Paran. But after only three days journey, some of the people became quite weary. It was at this point they made a very big mistake.
Some of the people who were in the outskirts of the camp began to grumble about their living conditions. But God heard what the said and he was not happy. He was not happy at all.

As He listened to the grumbling He became madder and madder until he boiled over with rage and brought fire upon the people.
The fire rained down on the outskirts of the camp, scalding people and setting their tents on fire. A great panic spread throughout as the fire raged and the tents burned furiously. The air was pierced with high-pitched screaming as people ran around engulfed in flames. Their clothes were dry and they burned quickly.
It was absolute chaos as God's fiery wrath blazed among the people. Mothers were trying frantically to put out the flames that were burning up their little children. Husbands who were too late to save their wives looked on in abject horror as the love of their life was gradually turned into a blackened corps. Throughout the camp you could hear this constant and horrible cacophony of shrieking, crying.

The people implored Moses to help them. He looked to the sky and pleaded with God to show some mercy. It seemed to work and a little while later, the fire from the Lord started to subside.
With water being in short supply in the wilderness, there wasn't much anyone could do, and a great many people died that day. Some managed to escape with only second and third degree burns but, even for them, the pain was excruciating. Large areas of skin had severely blistered and some parts had turned a waxy white or had peeled off altogether. Some of the skin was numb due to nerve damage. And of course, back in those days there was no such thing as skin grafts and they didn't have proper ways of sanitizing the wounds, so many of those who survived the initial fire succumbed to infection and died slow painful deaths.
Shortly after this, though, some of the people had a real craving for meat. They reminisced about the fish they used to eat in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, leeks, and onions. Some of the people began to gripe about the lack of good food in the wilderness.

But when God heard this he got blazing mad and started fuming about their impertinent meat craving. "Oh you want meat do you?" He thought to himself. "Alright then, if it's meat you want, it's meat you'll get." Oh He was mad...really, really mad...again.
So the next day God sent a wind that brought quail. He brought them from the sea and dropped them around the camp. But it wasn't just that he sent a few quails; he sent an astonishing number. He sent so many quails that, when all of them had settled, they were 3ft deep and covered the ground for 20 miles in every direction. That's about four thousand square miles of quail! That's a lot of quail.
So that night and the next day, the people went out and gathered lots and lots of quail. No one gathered less that 448 dry gallons of quail. That's a lot of quail. Finally they cooked some of the quail and sat down to taste some nice juicy meat. But it was all a bit of a set up because, just as each person had placed the meat between their teeth, disaster struck.
At the moment the meat was between their teeth, and before anyone had consumed a single piece, God struck the people with a terrible plague.
The quail meat came flying out of their mouths and even out of their nostrils. The people became very sick and started dying from the plague on the quail meat.
Just as with the fire from the Lord, the plague from the Lord killed many people. Families were ravaged by the loss of loved ones. There was much crying and misery in the camp as the people buried all the victims. They renamed the place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where so many people had been killed for craving tasty food.
