Trust

There’s not much I hate more than grumbling. It’s right up there with tracking mud through the house, making excuses, and lying. It’s ugly.

So you wouldn’t think I’d need the reminder.

But while I despise complaining in others, I find ways to condone it in myself. Which is exactly why these 10 words got me.

“Your grumbling is not against us but against the Lord.”

Reality hits hard. Because it doesn’t seem like my gripes against incompetent refs or frigid weather are against God.

But guess what? These 10 words tell me they are. And I don’t want to grumble against my God who does all things well. Against the God who calls me to be blameless and grumble-less and to shine.
