WHERE ARE YOU?

Today's reading: Deuteronomy 1-3

"But you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God and refused to go in. You murmured and complained in your tents..." Deuteronomy 1:26-27 NLT

There isn't a church you could attend in which you wouldn't have a list of complaints. Things needing corrected. Things needing addressed. Things needing undone.

Complaints are as varied and as unique as opinions. 

I don't mind listening to complaints, IF the person doing the complaining is doing and has done all that was asked of them by the Lord.

If they are obeying His commands.

If they are serving where He has asked.

If they are keeping their nose in the Word.

If they are cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in their lives.

But if they are rebelling against God and just sitting in their tents with their arms crossed--well, I don't tend to give them a listening ear.

This very verse has given me pause this morning as to what I'm doing where I'm at. 

It's caused me to stop long enough to think over what is ruffling my feathers or getting my goat--and whether or not it's God-led or conviction-fed.

What about you?
