FAITH CAPSULE: One with trust and hope in the Lord shall be blessed regardless of challenging situation.

Exodus 15

With Thanksgiving, having trust is not enough but have trust and hope in God. Jeremiah 17:7 stated the importance of trusting and hoping, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” Calling on God for His intervention is trust; waiting and no doubt is the evidence of having hope in God. When man calls on God for intervention but not able to avoid complaint will experience untimely termination and not arrive at the expected end of  a journey. Counting how far the year has gone and yet the expectation is not manifested, get to understand that God is in place for your expectation. God’s time counts but man’s attention to clock will count wrong for man’s manifestation for expectation.
Complaining must be completely disallowed!
Complaining begets rebellion. Giving to complaining will complicate the journey of life.
When the Israelites were set for the journey out of bondage of over four hundred years to God’s Promised Land, complaint was their pattern of life. When negativity becomes a pattern in any journey of life, man is set to complicate journey. It is certain that God is true to perform and perfect His word but worry, doubt, anxious will lead to complain to complicate the journey of life.
Avoiding compliant before God is to be discipline trusting and hoping on God. One that knows to trust and hope in the Lord shall be blessed regardless of any challenging situation.
Avoiding complaint before God is the discipline to wait, knowing that God waits to act for those who waits on Him. Isaiah 64:4, encouraged us to wait stating, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” Through the journey of the Israelites to the Promised Land, complaint was their pattern of life. Complaint terminated the Israelites and not get to their Promised Land. Our challenges in every journey is to avoid complaint but engage with trusting and hoping; waiting and not worry but worshiping before God. Israelites could not wait but complaint which is indiscipline before God. Exodus 15:23-25 recorded indiscipline of inability to wait but complain, “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. And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”  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.” Are you at the experience of Marah in your journey? With no experience of Marah in your journey at this appointed time, gain an understanding not be a victim of complaining in your journey. Marah in journey can represents bitter junction in journey. Avoid complaint, God shall deliver.

Prayer for today: Ask by speaking to your life before God, “I shall not be a victim of complaint in Jesus name.
