NO COMPLAIN
Exodus 15:22-27

Miracles are the move of God’s hand and they are enough to tell that nothing is impossible for God to do. With the understanding that nothing is too difficult for God to do, it is worthy of the reason not to complain. Also, complaining should never be a portion in the life of any man. It does not matter how difficult the situation or how confronting issues seem to be, complaining should never be what to resolve to do. It is hard to imagine, for the children of Israel, that after walking on dry ground, in the middle of the Red Sea, complaining happened to be the way of asking for their needs to be met. “So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” (Exodus 15:22-24) Could it have been that the children of Israel forgot so soon, or that the issue of their needs was overwhelmingly too much? God is a miracle working God, and every one of His words is true. To provide, preserve, and deliver at the right time, if His word can be taken to heart to observe. The word of God encourages us, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6) In every confronting situation, if a believer can take to the word of God and not become anxious, indeed, and in truth, there will be no reason to complain. Complaining does not have a place with God. It is an act of rebellion, and does nothing, but takes lives away. Do you have any reason to complain? Why not count your blessings instead of complaining? When taking time to count your blessings of the past and blessings of the present, thank God for the blessings that are to come. When you count your blessings, there will be a rested assurance that the same God will bless more abundantly. Exodus 15:24-25, “And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,” The children of Israel’s complaints before calling on God were wrong before God. The Lord God has brought you this far, and He will not fail taking your through to where He wants to take you. Do not let the current situation, or issue, terminate what the future holds for you. Abstain from complaining, but render unto Him a good heart of thanksgiving and appreciation knowing fully well that He that began a good work and will see you through.
