How
does one express dissatisfaction? It will bring disrespect. My
purpose is not to bring disrespect but to show that I am not fitting
in with what is going on.
What
brings life? What brings the answer? What brings direction?
What
do I do with complaining? There is always problems, otherwise there
would be no need for work. For when you see something to complain
about you have 2 options:
You
can complain.
or
You
can roll up your sleeves and go to work.
Complaining
comes from lazy people.
What
if yo are already working? Then you are not working from a position
of faith. Complaining shows a lack of faith.
Rejoice,
I am the Great I am.
Bring
all to Me Point yourself to the Blood of Christ. Don't worry come to
Me.
This
is the day you will behold My light. I will carry you to the mountain
top, so rejoice in Me says the Lord God almighty.
I generally agree with you Scott. I do wonder if one might consider some of the Psalmists as complainers?
ReplyDeleteMost of the Psalms show a progression of thought. They start out stating the problem and why doesn't God do something and then end in trust and praise in God. Which shows us the way of getting out of ourselves and into trusting God.
ReplyDeletePs 88 though is the exception to this.
Ps 3
1 O LORD, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him in God.”
Selah.
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain.
Selah.
5 I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God!
For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD;
Your blessing be upon Your people!
Selah.
This one is one of my favorites.
