Manna for Your Morning

So Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “By evening you will realize it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt. In the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?” — Exodus 16:6-7 (NLT) Whoever or whatever you are murmuring or complaining about, your complaint is against God. He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. (See Daniel 2:21 NKJV) The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all. (Psalms 103:19 NASB1995) Titus 3:2 (NKJV) says to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. Let us embrace the season we are in, and trust Yahweh to work it all together for good. Philippians 2:14-15 (AMP) instructs us to do everything without murmuring or question...

Do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God], so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness], — Philippians 2:14-15 (AMP) “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1-2 NASB1995) No matter what you are going through let His light within you continue to shine. No grumbling or complaining. 

And we must not embrace their ways by complaining—grumbling with discontent … — 1 Corinthians 10:10 (TPT) Don’t whine, complain and grumble. Instead be content and trust God. Seek His wisdom and follow the leading of His Holy Spirit in all situations. Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. (Philippians 4:11 AMP) Do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God], — Philippians 2:14 (AMP)

Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. — Philippians 2:14-15 (NLT) In her book, Battlefield of the Mind, Joyce Meyer states: “ The Israelites complained and remained in the wilderness. Jesus praised and was raised from the dead. ” Let us be like Jesus, continually praise and be raised. Philippians 4:6 instructs us not to be anxious or worry about anything, but in every circumstance to pray with thanksgiving. Complaining, murmuring and faultfinding, will hinder you. Prayer and praise is the way to go. Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. — Psalm 147:1 (NKJV)

Do all things without complaining and disputing, — Philippians 2:14 (NKJV) Numbers 11:1 says, when the people complained, it displeased the LORD. May we not grumble or complain. The Amplified Bible says, do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God], (Philippians 2:14). Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! (Philippians 2:14 MSG) When we complain we remain, when we praise, we get raised (Joyce Meyer). May His praise continually flow from our lips, in all situations.

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. — Psalm 62:5-6 (NLT) Let us wait quietly for God to work all things together for good in our lives. Philippians 2:14 (NKJV) instructs us to do all things without complaining and disputing. The Amplified Bible says: do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God].  Wait with expectation and confidence. Our God is faithful. He will fulfill every promise He has made. His word does not return to Him empty, without accomplishing what He desires, and without succeeding in the matter for which He sent it. (Isaiah 55:11 NASB) So wait quietly, your hope in God will not be disappointed.

In the words of Joyce Meyer, “You don't have to live a weak, wimpy life in Jesus.” Instead of whining, murmuring, and complaining, declare the living Word of God over your life:  “I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].”  — Philippians 4:13 (AMP)
