FAITH CAPSULE: Think of it, there is no time in time to be engaging complaining.
Psalm 119:1-48
In this particular season of the year there is no time for complaining unto God. Are you looking around enough? As a living soul begin to give thanks more than the thanks of the past. Think of it, there is no time in time to be engaging complaining. Acts of complaining are the evidence of rebellious spirit. The children of Israel, due to their never-ending complaining against gracious God provoked God’s response in Numbers 14:22-23, “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.” God has brought you this far and He does not plan to cut off your going further if rebellious spirit shall not be your composition against Him. Just like the Israelites, can you make sure that nothing is testifying against you in the presence of God?
Great and mighty testimonies of God are everywhere. The testimonies are enough for meditating that is enough for thanking God instead of complaining to God.
The word of God pointed out, “The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” (Psalm 19:8) The testimonies of God are more than enough to lead and take believers into the promises God. Are you constantly meditating on His testimonies? The Psalmist knew what he was doing when he testified in Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Psalm 119:14, I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, As much as in all riches, Psalm 119:24, “Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors, Psalm 119:46, I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. The testimonies of God are worthy of mediation.
Do you have testimonies to lift up to God in thanks giving instead of giving complain to God?
What are the testimonies of your heart? The testimonies of God provoke faith. Hebrew 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Let today be your day of meditating on the testimonies of God that provokes thanksgiving in the place of complaining. In the place of complaining, a journey of eleven days turned out to be journey of forty years.
Are you thanking God to keep God’s hand upon you?
God cannot be deceived but decide in your heart to be true to God. Allow fear of God to demonstrate your love in appreciation with thanks giving.
Prayer for today: Ask that the heart of thanksgiving shall be your portion.
