Complaints, they are the cries of unbelief and distrust in a
Holy and good God.
Our complaints denotes doubt, it purges us of thankfulness,
and rids us of joy.
I’ve noticed in myself the complaining that derives from my
heart. An ugly heart, all at the root of its being is my lack of thankfulness, it's sin. In the garden Adam and Eve thought they needed more, they were unthankful for what God had already given them, so they disobeyed. And I disobey and complain because I think that I deserve better, more than what I have been
given. I complain because I believe that things are not measuring up, or people
are not measuring up, or life in general is just not measuring up. I complain due of the pride that grips my heart, because I believe that things need to go my way.
Complaining is ungodly, it is being ungrateful and it reveals the amount of dissatisfaction that our hearts holds, it shows that we are lacking in our joy in Christ. Christ has given us everything we need in Him;
there is no need to complain in any circumstance. If you have Jesus, you have
everything!
Look towards Jesus, love Jesus, pursue after Jesus and the grumbles will soon dissolve, your heart will be overwhelmed with more of Him, fully satisfied, full of joy, all for His glory.
Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be
blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a
crooked and twisted generation, among
whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so
that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in
vain.
