Now when the people complained, it displeased The Lord; for The Lord heard it and His anger was aroused.

Numbers 11:1 NKJ Bible

We all know people who spend a lot of time complaining. In fact, we may be guilty of the same thing. Some complaints may be trivial and petty, some may be warranted, but one thing is certain, God is not pleased with complaining. There is actually a litany of things that we complain and moan about.......the weather, food, clothes, jobs, our church, friends, salesclerks, family members and the list goes on and on. In fact, if we are not careful, we can become chronic complainers and then discontentment and unhappiness creep in.

The cure for this is to develop a positive attitude and a spirit of contentment and gratefulness, focusing on all the good and positive things in our lives. When we are tempted to complain, we need to focus instead on praising and thanking God for His many blessings and also the people in our lives and suddenly the things that seemed to annoy us fade away. As believers, we must be mindful of the fact that complaining affects our credibility as witnesses of Almighty God and ultimately robs us of inner peace, joy and happiness. 

Thank you, Lord, for all You have done for me. Help me to have a new attitude and a thankful heart, to appreciate all that You've blessed me with and to refrain from complaining. Lord, I worship and praise you. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
