Daily Devotional. AND WHEN THE PEOPLE COMPLAINED, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and HIS ANGER WAS KINDLED; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. Numbers 11:1. The worldly will die in their sins, so they can do and say anything they want to, it won’t make any difference. If they die without Christ, nothing else matters. BUT FOR THE CHRISTIANS, THE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, we cannot say and do whatever we want. We are in Christ and Christ is in us, we are to do and say everything He asks of us. And part of that is what’s in our heart that comes out of our mouth. IN CHRIST, there is NO complaining, no grumbling, and no griping. None whatsoever. Restaurant food not cooked right? God allowed it to show you something. Traffic too slow, God allowed it to show you something. Too much rain, snow, heat, cold, floods, fire, tornados, hurricanes, whatever, GOD ALLOWED IT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING. Are you Praising His Name, Honoring Him and Thanking Him for ALL things? Everything? No matter if you like it or not? Will you Trust the Lord to see The Big Picture and Know exactly what to do to draw you to Himself, even when you only see a small piece of the picture? And when “the thing” is done, you’ll be able to look back and say, “Lord, if I’d known that, I would have given you EVERYTHING, nothing held back from You, I didn’t know, I didn’t understand, Forgive me for doubting You, DO IN ME, AND WITH ME, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO THAT WILL GLORIFY YOUR NAME”. Life IS a learning curve. Will we learn from those who have learned before us, or will we be stubborn and have to find out for ourselves the hard way? God left us His Book of EVERYTHING to learn, the easy-er way, if we will but study and listen. The Holy Spirit WILL teach you ALL things, if you will stop, and listen, and obey, and then, Be Blessed.
