Confession time: I HATE COMPLAINERS!
Confession pt. 2: I complain BITTERLY and Constantly.
Yeah, I know it's hypocritical. Me and God are dealing with me.
I've noticed something among my peers. We have a very "children of Israel" mentality. We piss and moan about our current state, we beg and plead with God for change. When change comes we PISS AND MOAN About that TOO!!!!!
STOP THAT CRAP!!!!
How is it that we can get EXACTLY what we ask for and NEVER EVER be satisfied??? Are we that empty? Are we that CHILDISH? God has blessed us with abundance, He's called down plagues on our oppressors, He led us to freedom and promise, sustaining us all the while. WHAT MORE DO WE NEED????????
We have it all, yet STILL the complaints come. You want guidance but you don't like where you're led. You want money, but you don't like the job. You raise your hand and say "Here I am, Lord! SEND ME!" but you throw a tantrum when you get your walking papers. What gives you the right to dictate how God does ANYTHING???? Who do you think you are??? Seriously?
Just....please....just stop.

ouch.
Yikes. I'm definitely guilty of that. We are that kid that begs dad and mom to go to disney world...but complains about the long drive to get there...the entire way.
This makes me think about how much we probably miss along the way. We ask God for this destination in our prayers. And He gives it to us...but in our childish behavior, we don't get to take in all of the things He wanted to show us and teach us en route.
Good stuff.
