If a person grumbles and compains about their lot in life, or the bad things that have happened to them, they attract negativity and further problems. All of us suffer, many times unjustly. But its at these times that a sacrifice of thanksgiving to God has maximum power. We mustn't give into the the temptation to speak out the words of the evil one who will be encouraging us to complain and pity ourselves. Complaining angers God. Just look at what it did for the people of Israel in the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land. And many of us are in an analogous position. We have not fully entered into the possession of what God wants us to have yet, though we have left the world behind. We mustn't complain when things get tough and the answers don't come quickly enough to save us from pain and frustration. Instead we need to maintain an attitude of thankfulness, patience and faith, which God will surely bless.
And so here I am.....waiting.
