Take a piece of paper and draw a line in the middle, there is a scale we need to reconsider: How many times a day do we complain to how many times we thank the Name above all names. Lets say on the left side we write complaints and on the right side thanksgiving, in all fairness the left side will get so heavy that the paper starts tearing. We as humans love to complain, especially when things are not going our way. Every single day we want our luck to change, we are never satisfied, always hoping on a circumstancial exchange. We should actually do all things without grumbling or questioning, according to Philippians 2:14-16. Again in chapter 4:6-7 it says, we should not worry about anything, but pray about everything, rely on the peace God brings to change our thoughts and feelings. As we stand facing the mountains wondering where our help comes from, we should fall back on the words of Psalm 121, and have faith in the Father, Spirit and Son. And as our faith gets tested and we feel asif we can take no more, we can just open the word on James 1:2-4. Our lives may not turn out the way we have hoped, but fear not, God knows the best way home. This is why instead of complaining we should bow down in thanksgiving, and thank God for everything. There are so many things we receive, so many things we perceive, as self-evident. We don't get anything in life by accident, in fact God goes to a great extend to show us His grace and love. Love that makes our hearts beat in our chests and grace that fills our lungs with breath. Again I say, we should thank God for everything, everyday, and ask for forgivnesS when we complain, about the slightest bit of hardship we attain. After hearing this which side of your paper will now be heavier, the right or the left? Will you be more gratefull now for what you have?
