Complaining is Lack of Fatih

To complain continually about all that is going on in the world is to deny God's plan. It is to ignore His promises.

To complain about the weather is to complain against God's will.

To complain about our lives is to lack faith that God is working His purpose in our lives.

We deny Christ every time we complain about things we cannot change. He is in control of everything, and when we know this we can praise Him in the hard times and remain faithful to Him no matter what is happening around us or to us.

Pride also causes us to complain when we don't get our own way. Pride destroys faith in Christ and makes self the god.

Remember every time we complain we are placing ourselves above God.

Pride causes people to defend themselves when they receive a correction, even from God.

Philippians 2:14-18

"14 Do all things without complaining or arguments;

15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

16 holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me."
