It is very easy to focus on all the things you need & want. Not to mention all your situations/circumstances and how this or that could have occurred for a greater outcome. Reality is we as people (including Christians) complain a lot. Ironically many things we complain about are results of our own actions. Meaning some of our decisions has placed us in positions where the only complaint we need to make is to ourselves about ourselves. Have you ever met an individual who conveyed all the things they were dealing with but you never hear them complaining. Yet you find yourself having a few issues yet every time you open your mouth you’re complaining and being negative. Christians is time to realized how blessed YOU are. Yeah, situations and circumstances occur which prevent your life from being peachy cream all the time. However, those come to test and build your faith.
You must understand that even when things may be in an uproar, God is still blessing you. Look at you… Clothed … hair layed… eating good… working… unemployed but bills still getting paid… getting to & fro daily… cable … cell phone… friends & family who care about you… eyes blinking… walking & talking good… good weekly word at church… Shall I continue?!?!? I mean let’s think about it. You got pulled over for speeding, but the cop just gave you a warning. That bill YOU payed late, they waived the late fee. That friend who you just met just went through what you did and was able to help you. That thing you continue to do God keeps giving you a way out. Oh wait!!!!! Let me guess you think you deserve all that????!!! Not at all, BUT God continues to bless YOU. So the next time you open your mouth to complain, think about it. Take that complaint and turn it into a THANK YOU! While that particular thing may not be working out something else is. God will handle your that! Now you handle your praise that is due to Him, because God is truly, “blessing you over and over again.”
