Just look at the children of Israel in the Bible. For many instances, we can easily say they were some complaining folks lol.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But are we any different??&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to make sure everybody knows our displeasure with people, situations, things. But that\u2019s not the way of the Kingdom! The way of the Kingdom is to speak, decree, declare, change. We must bring the Kingdom into every situation.<br><br>We don\u2019t allow whatever it is that is not like the Kingdom to consume us, especially not to the point that our disposition is changed. (Romans 14:17; Luke 17:20,21)<br><br>Complaining exhibits a lack of peace and it causes peace to flee.<br><br>We don\u2019t want to be those type of people who suggest by our words and actions that God is nowhere in our equations. That our communion, fellowship, involvement with Him produce no results.<br><br>Wow. Let that sink in.<br><br>Think about that the next time you want to \u201cair your grievances.\u201d Yes, I know that things stink, lol but we have to tackle the problems differently. We don\u2019t complain, though. We pray and ask the Lord to help give us a solution or even help us be one.<br><br>~mnm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do everything without complaining and arguing, (Philippians 2:14 NLT) \u201cI am so tired of\u2026\u201d \u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t believe they did that!&#8221; \u201cWhy is this happening to me?\u201d \u201cThis is the worst\u2026 \u201c Does any of that sound familiar?
