#MorningDevotion: COMPLAIN NOT Philippians 2:14 ‘Do everything without complaining or arguing.’ Someone once said that when we see the same blessings every day, we eventually stop noticing them. When we stop noticing, we quit appreciating. When we quit appreciating, we stop being thankful and when we stop thanking we start a new trend: We start complaining. The cancer of a complaining spirit can undermine the spiritual and emotional health of an individual and can infect an entire group. Paul was clear to the Philippians to do everything without complaining. How then can we learn to develop a thankful, positive attitude that will please the Lord? We should consistently ask God to help us stop complaining especially when things seem not to go our way. Instead we should ask for a thankful heart for our different circumstances. PRACTICAL ACTION: Remember, the next time you feel like complaining, start counting your blessings one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done in your life.
