Moaning

Some things are natural that we dont even need to try.

One of the most easy things to do is complain, moan and grumble.

It is a big spiritual problem.

When a person complains - they have decided to view life from a very unhealthy perspective: The Critic.

The critic never enjoys anything - whatever they do, they do it with the intension of finding fault.

Top Gun Mavric critic vs audience.

I took my dad for his birthday to wach top gun. And i honestly enjoyed it.

And i am not the only one: The audience score is sky high.

But the critics hated it.

Why? They watched the same film - but they did hated it because they did not watch the film itself: They watched and criticised everything.

There are people who live their whole life like this.

God has a lot to say about complaining.

Philippians 2:14 NASB 2020

14 Do all things without complaining or arguments;

Numbers 11:1 NASB 2020

1 Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the ears of the Lord; and the Lord heard them and His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some at the outskirts of the camp.

1 Corinthians 10:10 NASB 2020

10 Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer.

We may find this shocking! Why does God take complaining so seariously?

He wiped out thousands of people who complained just so that we today would have an example of just how muich God hates complaining people.

It there a right way to complain?

We complain about 2 things:

We complain about our own life.

We complain about others.

Each of these has a spiritual cause.

Complaining about our own life.

Lets start with a fact of life: Life is hard.
