Be Careful about Complaining

Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing.” We know what this verse is talking about because we are all guilty of this sin. What we probably don’t realize is how serious a sin this is.

The children of Israel did plenty of grumbling as the Lord led them through the wilderness. We are warned about this in 1 Corinthians 10:10 where we are told not to “grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.”

That tells us what God thinks about those who grumble. It is a serious sin that is directed at God because He is the One who has ordered all of your circumstances. It is so serious that The Lord killed some people for their complaining.

So we need to take this sin seriously. Start making a list of all the things you are thankful for and share that list with someone on Thanksgiving Day.
