Be careful who you listen to. In this chapter, it was the rabble, the mixed multitude, who had traveled with Israel who started the complaining. The problem was that Israel rather than correcting the complaints joined in. For me, this is a reminder that we need to make sure and listen to the people of God and not the people who are hanging out with the people of God. Be careful who you listen to. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:33 "Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Later in the chapter, the Spirit of God falls on Eldad and Medad and they prophecied. They were elders but they weren't the ones chosen to join with Moses but God had other plans. They may not have been chosen by men but God chose them. Moses showed great wisdom and let God elevate who he wanted.
