Why has complaining become so
natural and acceptable today even among Christians? Believers are to be people
of hope and grace born in the love and security of our Almighty Father where
complaining shows an attitude of “in over our heads” and a spirit of
hopelessness. What kind of testimony is that for a child of God? Although it is
true that we all struggle sometimes with complaining we need to remind
ourselves that it never pleases God.
Numbers 11:1-3 “And when the people complained, it displeased
the LORD: …& the fire of the LORD burnt among them, & consumed them…”
the LORD: …& the fire of the LORD burnt among them, & consumed them…”
I believe that either the fire of God’s judgment or the
consuming bitterness of a complaining spirit will consume a consistently
complaining Believer. It is time we learn to trust God and live in hope.
