FAITH CAPSULE: Are you complaining to prompt negative confession before God?

Numbers 14:1-38

The word of God is His promise that delivers to one that lives by His word.
To live by the word of God demands commitment.
Without a commitment to the word of God, one shall give to complaining.
One that complains will confess negative, experience negative results, to become denied in the promise of God.
Complaining does not have a place before God.
Complaining instead of complementing God shall arrive outside of the plans of God.
Consciously or unconsciously, are you complaining before God? 
Complain is the expression of dissatisfaction with God, the avenue to experience a painful life journey, to fail and not pass.
One thing God cannot do is: He cannot fail!
In every way of life, a complaint or the expression of dissatisfaction with a negative confession is not acceptable before God. 
The word of God warns: “Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?” (Ecclesiastes 5:6)
The written word of God is a manual of life, to lead with direction to arrive at the destination of the life journey.
Importantly, give self to the word of God, not to look away from God, the evidence of taking distance from God.
The complaint before God is against God that set the Israelites on a painful life journey.
The Bible records the complaints of the Israelites, “So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.” (Numbers 14:1-4) 
The complaint of the Israelites prompted negative confession as they reacted to the discouraging report by the spies. (Numbers 13:26-29) 
Are you complaining, confessing negatively before God?
One with the complaint will rebel before God.
The Israelites complain before God after their deliverance from over four hundred years of bondage.
The complaint testifies to them as rebellious before God.
As a believer, avoiding complaining before God is rooted in trusting and hoping in God. 
One that knows to trust and hope in the Lord shall experience the blessing of God as Jeremiah 17:7 states, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 
Calling on God for His intervention is trust; waiting on God, without doubt, is evidence of having hope in God.
Do not complain to avoid negative confession before God.

Prayer for today: Ask God not to become a victim of complaining.
