- JT – Question ONE
Let’s talk some more about the spiritual side of NO GRUMBLING
What is grumbling a sign of – Spiritually!
- Bob
Spiritual dryness or deadness…
- Children of Israel grumbled…
Deuteronomy 28:45–47 (ESV) — 45 “All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you. 46 They shall be a sign and a wonder against you and your offspring forever. 47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things,
COUNTER WITH GRATITUDE
1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (ESV) — 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Philippians 4:6–7 (ESV) — 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:2–5 (ESV) — 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Who you hang with? No Grumbling
1 Corinthians 15:33 (ESV) — 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
CONCLUSION – If you find yourself grumbling or IF you come across someone who is grumbling and complaining – say stop … let’s look at what God is doing for which you can be grateful.
- (JT) The next question is from a mental standpoint…
“How do you get the negative stuff out of your mind?”
- (Bob)
- REPLACEMENT THERAPY
- Read the word instead of watch the news
- Seek for an encouraging word rather than a complaining or sarcastic word
Philippians 4:6–7 (ESV) — 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
