“Now the people complained about
their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when He heard them His anger
was aroused. Then fire from the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the
outskirts of the camp.”
“Do everything without complaining
or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without
fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in
the universe.”
When we complain, to us it may seem
like just words, but the words we speak reflect the attitude of our hearts. The
world does not condemn a person who complains as they would a murderer because
complaining is the norm. People complain, it is as simple as that. They
complain because life is hard, because it isn’t fair, because they’ve been
wronged in some way, so when you find someone who does not complain, they tend
to stand out. It may not seem like they have a reason to always have a smile on
their face or a cheerful attitude, but their attitude is a reflection of Christ’s
love. We have every reason to celebrate in the glory of the Lord, yet we waste
our time focusing on the bad things in our lives instead of seeing the beauty
in the day God has made and the opportunities to show other’s His love.
