Complaining Again
“And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness” Exodus 16:2
Many look back to the Israelites, and marvel at their unbelief and murmuring, feeling that they themselves would not have been so ungrateful; but when their faith is tested, even by little trials, they manifest no more faith or patience than did ancient Israel.
God had promised to be their God, to take them to Himself as a people, and to lead them to a large and good land; but they were ready to faint at every obstacle encountered in the way to that land. . . . They forgot their bitter service in Egypt. They forgot the goodness and power of God displayed in their behalf in their deliverance from bondage. They forgot how their children had been spared when the destroying angel slew all the first-born of Egypt. They forgot the grand exhibition of divine power at the Red Sea. They forgot that while they had crossed safely in the path that had been opened for them, the armies of their enemies, attempting to follow them, had been overwhelmed by the waters of the sea. They saw and felt only their present inconveniences and trials; and instead of saying, "God has done great things for us; whereas we were slaves, He is making of us a great nation," they talked of the hardness of the way, and wondered when their weary pilgrimage would end.
The history of the wilderness life of Israel was chronicled for the benefit of the Israel of God to the close of time. The record of God's dealing with the wanderers of the desert in all their marchings to and fro, in their exposure to hunger, thirst, and weariness, and in the striking manifestations of His power for their relief, is fraught with warning and instruction for His people in all ages. The varied experience of the Hebrews was a school of preparation for their promised home in Canaan. God would have His people in these days review with a humble heart and teachable spirit the trials through which ancient Israel passed, that they may be instructed in their preparation for the heavenly Canaan.

O valor da vida ao ar livre
"Amado, desejo que te vá bem em todas as coisas, e que tenhas saúde, assim como bem vai a tua alma." 3 João 1:2
As coisas da natureza são bênçãos de Deus, providas para comunicar saúde ao corpo, à mente e ao espírito. São elas dadas aos sãos, para conservá-los com boa saúde, e aos doentes para torná-los sãos. Associadas ao tratamento por água, são elas mais eficazes no restabelecimento da saúde do que toda a medicação de droga do mundo.T7 76.2
No campo encontram os doentes muitas coisas para desviar-lhes a atenção de si mesmo e de seus sofrimentos. Por toda parte podem eles considerar e apreciar as belas coisas da natureza — as flores, os campos, as árvores frutíferas carregadas de seus ricos tesouros, as árvores da floresta a projetarem sua agradável sombra, e as colinas e vales com sua variada vegetação e suas muitas formas de vida.T7 76.3
E não somente são eles atraídos por esse ambiente, mas aprendem ao mesmo tempo lições espirituais muito preciosas. Rodeada pelas maravilhosas obras de Deus, sua mente é levada das coisas que são vistas para as que se não vêem. A beleza natural leva-os a pensar nos encantos sem igual da Nova Terra, na qual nada haverá a estragar-lhe a beleza, nada a macular ou destruir, coisa alguma a causar doença ou morte.T7 76.4
A natureza é o médico divino. O ar puro, a alegre luz solar, as belas flores e árvores, os belos pomares e vinhas e o exercício ao ar livre, em meio desse ambiente, são transmissores de saúde — o elixir da vida. A vida ao ar livre é o único remédio de que muitos doentes necessitam. Sua influência é poderosa na cura das doenças causadas pela vida social, vida que debilita e destrói as energias físicas, mentais e espirituais.T7 76.5
Quão agradáveis aos enfermos deprimidos, acostumados à vida da cidade, ao clarão de muitas luzes e ao ruído das ruas, são a quietude e a liberdade do campo. Com que ansiedade se volvem para as cenas da natureza! Quão satisfeitos se sentirão eles pelas vantagens de uma casa de saúde no campo, onde podem sentar-se sob céu aberto, deleitar-se com a luz solar e respirar a fragrância das árvores e flores! Há propriedades que comunicam vida no bálsamo do pinheiro, na fragrância do cedro e do abeto. E há outras árvores que são promotoras de saúde. Não permitam que essas árvores sejam impiedosamente derrubadas. Tratem-nas com carinho onde elas existirem em abundância, e plantem mais onde há poucas.T7 77.1
Nada contribui tanto para restaurar a saúde e a felicidade como viver em meio ao atrativo ambiente do campo.... Que Deus nos ajude a fazer o nosso melhor para utilizar o poder vivificante do sol e do ar puro.
Testemunhos para a Igreja, Volume 7, páginas 76 e 77.

The Health-Giving Value of Outdoor Life
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 1:2
The things of nature are God's blessings, provided to give health to body, mind, and soul. They are given to the well to keep them well and to the sick to make them well...
In the country the sick find many things to call their attention away from themselves and their sufferings. Everywhere they can look upon and enjoy the beautiful things of nature--the flowers, the fields, the fruit trees laden with their rich treasure, the forest trees casting their grateful shade, and the hills and valleys with their varied verdure and many forms of life.
And not only are they entertained by these surroundings, but at the same time they learn most precious spiritual lessons. Surrounded by the wonderful works of God, their minds are lifted from the things that are seen to the things that are unseen. The beauty of nature leads them to think of the matchless charms of the earth made new, where there will be nothing to mar the loveliness, nothing to taint or destroy, nothing to cause disease or death.
Nature is God's physician. The pure air, the glad sunshine, the beautiful flowers and trees, the orchards and vineyards, and outdoor exercise amid these surroundings, are health-giving--the elixir of life. Outdoor life is the only medicine that many invalids need. Its influence is powerful to heal sickness caused by fashionable life, a life that weakens and destroys the physical, mental, and spiritual powers.
How grateful to weary invalids accustomed to city life, the glare of many lights, and the noise of the streets are the quiet and freedom of the country! How eagerly do they turn to the scenes of nature! How glad would they be for the advantages of a place in the country, where they could sit in the open air, rejoice in the sunshine, and breathe the fragrance of tree and flower! There are life-giving properties in the balsam of the pine, in the fragrance of the cedar and the fir. And there are other trees that are health-promoting. Let no such trees be ruthlessly cut down. Cherish them where they are abundant, and plant more where there are but few. . . .
Nothing so tends to restore health and happiness as living amid attractive country surroundings.... May God help us to do our utmost to utilize the life-giving power of sunshine and fresh air.
