(Phil 2:14 NKJV) Do all things without complaining and disputing…
Are you a grumbler or a complainer? I know I used to be. I would grumble about lots of little things!
And then God got ahold of me. He showed me that my grumbling was affecting my outlook on life. It was also a terrible witness to those around me.
My personality made it very easy for me to fall into the trap of grumbling because I like everything to be just so. But God had to teach me to lighten up and find the good in things, not just what was wrong.
I am still a work in progress and I need to be reminded sometimes to watch what I think and what I say, but it sure is better not to always be looking at the wrong and not seeing the right!
Watch yourself today. Let God show you if you’re being a grumbler or if you’re ungrateful for what you have. You’ll be surprised at how many times you catch yourself complaining about even the littlest things, instead of being thankful.
God wants us to be His light and we can’t be a light if we’re full of negativity!
