Here's my thought for today about something that we all do.  It's about when we complain.  You ready?  Here it comes...

 

"Complaining is the opposite of thanking God."

 

If you ever find yourself complaining about something, stop for a sec and check yourself because you're doing the exact opposite of what you're supposed to be doing.

 

1TH 5:16 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

 

Over this next week see if you can catch yourself complaining about school, work, other drivers, friends, family, food, church, church members, politics, neighbors, anything – then turn it around and see what it is you can be thankful for. 

 

Example: I hate my boss.  He sucks.  Grumble grumble.  (Now here's the switcheroo).  God, thanks for this job and the opportunity to try to minister to this person, or the opportunity to grow my patience, whatever. 

The main thought though is each time you complain, you should be doing the opposite. 

Have fun.

Conrad out.
