Lord, true true, you know us.
You know exactly how we are, how we react to a trial, how we mope when the going is not in our favor.
We are plaintive in nature, always murmuring to attract the graces and sympathy of men, we want others to prove us right and understand us.
We are eternally dissatisfied, never happy with what we have, we are never grateful for what we are, we always want to bring everything back on us, we are envious and we compromise ourselves, we weaken our relationship with God.
Are we even aware of how many times we whisper during the day?
It is a bad character that sticks to us and that is difficult to get rid of by our own strength.
The bible tells us that our words have the power of life or death, it means that complaints is a destructive weapon.
As long as the others don’t agree with us, the complaints begin.
When an untoward incident or inconvenience happens, our hearts are sad, we feel that we deserve better.
Brothers, we don’t like to be uncomfortable, we hate making sacrifices, we refuse difficulties.
We are all the same, as soon as the situation changes, we moan, we don’t accept it, it affects and influences our lives.
Let us come back to the people of Israel stuck in Egypt.
God delivered this nation from slavery in a special way to bring them into the promised land, he gave them his laws for their welfare, he organized this people and fed them daily with manna, the Lord walked in their side every day with its pillar of fire and cloud, for years these people were not subjected to assault, the Lord protected them, kept their clothes and their shoes intact no matter how far they walked,
The Lord was preparing them for a land flowing with milk and honey, the land of Canaan.
Do we imagine how much God’s love is available?
Do we understand that these people were the apple of God’s eye?
But can we think that Israel could disappoint God with all that he did for him?
Can we imagine that these people would react in a selfish and proud manner when an unexpected problem arose?
Was he grateful?
The bible says they started to murmur against God because everything was not as he wanted, they doubted God and God got angry.
Complaints make us forgetful, enliven our lust, keep us ungrateful, and mow down the life plans for our lives.
Complaints, moans, divisions, selfish ambitions … will prevent us from going to heaven because it is sin.
And it’s not only unique to Israel that behavior, we do that too.
We swim in moans and whispers and we don’t care what God thinks or says.
So let’s watch our attitudes, take stock of what God has already done for us and avoid complaints.
Stop complaining and keep following the Lord’s instructions.
Exodus, 14:15 – The LORD said to Moses, Why these cries? Speak to the children of Israel, and let them walk.
How can we obey complaints?
How can we hear from the Lord in the distraction?
So we speak no matter how the ears of God have heard.
The Lord himself is surprised by our thankless and proud reactions.
Complaints prevent us from moving forward, walking and moving forward.
So let’s follow the Father’s instructions and quietly enter our Canaan.
Hello Beloved
Have a good day
