TENT GRUMBLERS
Today's reading:  Psalm 105-107

"The people refused to enter the pleasant land, for they wouldn't believe his promise to care for them. Instead, they grumbled in their tents and refused to obey The Lord."  Psalm 106:24-25 NLT

I could easily determine this morning's words to be for your heart, for your situation and for your issue with believing God...or I could suck it up and swallow it myself.

I tend to sit and grumble in my tent.

I have a tendency to believe in God's love and concern for those around me...and yet doubt it for myself.

I struggle with feelings of inadequacy when it comes to claiming any of the promises He has made for me.

And that leaves me sitting in my tent instead of stepping foot into the Promised Land.

But a 'tent grumbler' is not who He created me to be.

I want to claim all that He has set aside for me.  I want to taste the milk and honey.  I want to hold one of those grapes He grew on the hillsides of Eschol for the sole purpose of amazing me with His provision.  I want to make a five course meal out of the quail and manna He has laid at my feet.  I want to take the land,no matter what some of the scouts have to say about giants.  I want to send packing the inhabitants of this new land God has given me.

To tell the truth, after reading these verses, I want to sell my tent!
