Quote from the audio, Thankfulness. Now let’s look at what God says about murmurers. Jude the 16th verse. The previous verse is spoken about these people and calls them “ungodly sinners.” As a matter of fact, the word ungodly occurs four times in the 16th verse. Speaking about these ungodly persons, Jude goes on to say: These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; . . . (KJV) See what I’m saying? Murmuring is a form of ungodliness. The word complainer there, I happened to look at this in the Greek New Testament and I noticed a very strange word. I don’t want to give it to you in Greek but I checked and went back to the dictionaries and it’s a word that means “a person who complains about his lot in life.” And I thought: What an insight! “Why did You make me so thin . . . so fat . . . so tall? Why did You give me this job? Why is my hair short, long, curly, straight? In other words, you’re complaining about your lot in life. It’s ungodly to do that. And it creates problems for you.
