Manna for Your Morning

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)

Be still before the LORD; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him; Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. — Psalm 34:7 (AMP) Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday. (Psalm 34:5-6 NASB) Evildoers will be cut off. The arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD sustains the righteous. (Psalm 34:17) Day by day the LORD takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. (Psalm 34:18 NLT) God's got you!

Praise the LORD! Let all that I am praise the LORD. I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. — Psalm 146:1-2 (NLT) May we continually praise and give thanks to the LORD. He inhabits the praises of His people. When we whine and complain, it kills our joy and peace. When our mouths continually praise and give thanks to God, even in the midst of adverse circumstances, we strengthen our trust and reliance on God. We are able to keep our peace and joy, knowing that our mighty God is working everything together for good. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT) 

Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders— he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin. — Psalm 55:22 (MSG) We have a God who wants to bear our burdens. He tells us to cast all our cares on Him, because He cares for us. (1 Peter 5:7) No need to wear yourself out, being overburdened. No need to whine and complain about them. Don't compare them with the burden of another. Just give them to the LORD. Let go and let God work. Trust Him. Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah. — Psalm 68:19 (NASB) 

Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. — Proverbs 4:24 (NLT) I believe any speech that does not line up with the Word of God is perverse. As citizens of God’s Kingdom, we are to speak the language of the Kingdom, which is God’s Word. His Word is full of power, strength and faith. Philippians 2:14 (NKJV) instructs us to do all things without complaining and disputing, When we grumble and complain it indicates doubt in our hearts about the goodness of our God. Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. (Proverbs 18:21 MSG) Jesus said, “ What truly contaminates a person is not what he puts into his mouth but what comes out of his mouth. That’s what makes people defiled. ” (Matthew 15:11  TPT) So let us choose to speak words of life. Why whine and worry about what God is not doing, when we can worship and give thanks for all He has done and is doing?

Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. — Isaiah 40:27-28 (MSG) Why would we ever complain or whine, as if God has forgotten about us? God Lasts! He is there, watching over us every second of every day. He doesn’t take a vacation and He never needs a break. He continually pours out His goodness and compassion on us. Know that God knows and He cares. And He is working everything together for good in your life.
