Today at our ladies bible study we talked about whining and how you can always find reasons to be unhappy or disatisifed with any situation. This really struck a cord with me because I think in our American culture we live with so much pretentiousness and disatisfaction for what God has already blessed us with, that we can never be pleased. Just like how we cannot stand to hear our kids whine and complain, God can't stand how we whine and complain. No matter what situation you are in, you can find gratitude and thankfulness. Many scriptures come to my mind about this subject but this one stands out the most.
“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. Luke 16:10 NLT
Be thankful and grateful in the little that God has given you without whining and let him pour out more, when it is time. Just like the photo of this little hand. I don't know about you but I know I am so grateful my family has provision of another meal on our table. Take this to heart and recognize all that He has blessed you with.
Be glad you can do the things you should be doing. Do all things without arguing and talking about how you wish you did not have to do them. Philippians 2:14 NLT
