Grumbling

I’ve just been reading through Exodus and it never ceases to amaze me how much the Israelites grumbled.  God would do something loving, wonderful, miraculous.  A little further in the journey they’d hit a tough spot and they’d go straight to complaining again.  I’d judge them if I didn’t relate to them so much.  I really want to become a woman who is grateful instead of grumbling.  Only by the grace of God will that happen and I pray for it to.

“Do everything without complaining or arguing”  ~Philippians 2:14

And you know it just hit me that it comes down to a matter of trust.  Do I trust God to take care of me?  Do I trust Him to handle the tough bits of my life?  Do I have hope in Him when things around me appear hopeless?

I pray, “…help me overcome my unbelief!”  ~Mark 9:24b
