Constant complaint is the poorest sort of pay for all the comforts we enjoy. –Franklin
Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. Job 23:2
Comforts we enjoy; heated homes, indoor plumbing, vehicles, electricity, and instant grits are some of the comforts the Lord has blessed us with. Why is it when the car doesn’t crank, the toilet doesn’t flush or the power goes out, we whine and complain like these are rights of ours? I’ll tell yah why…WE ARE SPOILED! Most of the folks reading my post live in the United States and have been blessed to the hilt compared to 44% of the world living on less than $20 a day. Yes, $20 a day!
Let me remind you of this great truth this morning: Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. Psalm 116:5 Not only has the Lord given us salvation, He has blessed us with every comfort of life we have as well! Do you thank Him for them? How about when the water is frozen? How about when we have to replace the well pump? How about when the battery is dead? Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Praise the Lord— even in the valleys of life!
