Ten minutes' praying is better than a year's murmuring. –Spurgeon
Philippians 2:14, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:”
I have a challenge for us today. See how long we can go without complaining about anything. Be thankful for the home we have, for the clothes we have, for the country we live in, for the freedoms we have, for the spouse we are married to, for the children God gave us, for the food we will eat today, and most especially for the salvation that has been provided for us in the Lord Jesus! The list goes on and on. If you have ever worked with someone that all they do is complain then it will become very evident how unthankful we can be.
In Romans 1:21, we see the beginning of the fall of a person that does not glorify and thank God. “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Read the progression through verse 31 to see how a heart falls when we don’t glorify and thank God for whom He is and what He has done!
Stop complaining and go pray this morning! It will be the beginning of a wonderful habit you will not be able to live without!
