1st Corinthians 10: 10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
Before we proceed however, there are a few things that often interfere with the Christian’s expectation from God, and these are enumerated in the Bible so that we may avoid succumbing to the devices of the enemy of souls. [1] Unbelief and Murmuring: The tendency for folks to murmur at God, is often the catalyst for souring the relation, or in some cases, preventing a blessing in this or that situation.
Murmuring also paves the way for persons to view a situation the way the devil sees it. And, whenever persons begin to agree with satan’s views on this or that matter, it could become very difficult to expect a blessing. The following are some synonyms of murmuring, so that we may be able to identify and avoid it, when it may be on the verge of occurring. Whining, fussing, grumbling, and whimpering.
Therefore, we are strongly advised to avoid this first snare, and instead, we should try to cultivate a spirit of faith and thankfulness in all situations even when at times it may be difficult to do so. Looking on the brighter side of life, by bringing to remembrance the blessings and deliverances of God to us in former years will greatly help us in keeping our heads lifted to the skies.
1st Thessalonians 5: 18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
