FAITH CAPSULE: Stop complaining and start counting the blessings of God.

Numbers 14

Blessings of God are rooted in His faithfulness. 
Psalm 89:1 records, “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” 
Are you counting, or are you complaining? 
Counting the blessings is praising Him for what He has done to provoke more of His doing. 
Complaining will complicate the life journey.
Regardless of challenges, see it in the word of God that the Lord is more than able to see you through your challenges. 
See that God turned the rock into a pool of water and the flint into a fountain of waters (Psalm 114:8) 
God is more than able to turn around your story above and beyond your expectation.
See that God does not slumber nor sleep, but He is awake and mindful of you in your challenging situation. 
Know that complaining does not settle well before God. 
Complaining is sin, and God will not overlook sin. 
God did not overlook the complaint of the children of Israel against Him. Assuredly, your complaint against God shall get His attention. 
The complaining of the Israelites complicated their journey. 
For the Israelites, their journey of eleven days turned into a journey of forty years.
The complaint before God made the Israelites become a wanderer in the wilderness when they were supposed to be a wonder to their world.
See the wonders of God in the word of God, to become positioned to exploit for the glory of God. 
The time of the year is not evidence that the visitation of God for your breakthrough has expired. 
Have you been complaining in any way you have taken to? 
The Israelites took to the way of wilderness which was supposed to be a passage for them to pass through, but they ended up living in it.
The complaining of the generation that came out of Egypt made the wilderness become their habitation.
The complaining made the Israelites wander on their wilderness journey. 
For the Israelites, the wonder of God was to be the journey from bondage to the promised land.
However, wandering to become wasted in the wilderness answered for the Israelites. 
Have you seen or experienced the act of God in your life?
The book of Numbers 14:22-23 documents, “Because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.” 
Stop complaining and start counting the blessings of God.
See what God has done, and it will enable you to see through what He will do.  
Can you count and see the blessings of God over your life? 

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from complaining before Him.
