When I am out of synch (part 20)

  • Is it a sin to complain?Is it a sin to discourage or to look into the dark cloud rather than to see the silver lining? What happens when I complain about not being able to handle something? Like time management? Like task management? I;m not talking about the occasional gripe, I'm talking about an attitude that nothing is right with what the world does because they are not doing it my way. I am talking about the selfishness of doing things my way and only my way. The blessing indeed gets removed from me and given to someone who is ok with multitasking, or having time crammed where one feels as though there is indeed no rest.. (Ps 109:17) As I feel walls closing in they actually do. As I complain about a situation it becomes worse. Rather than giving it all to God, rather than relying on Him to show me the way I would rather mope and say I can't find my way. Isn't that the same as saying God is not all powerful after all? What if I choose to follow an idol such as food or time or anything that I say is more important than God? What if I choose to say God didn't create the rain or God didn't make the sun? Science did it, or the sun god did it... What then? Jeremiah 8:2 speaks of just those people who worshipped nature and who never praised God as not being buried but being left to be fed off of. Jeremiah 14:10 says that God will not look with favor on those who stray from Him when they do stray. Indeed God will show us who we really are, lover of false securities, lover of false beauty, rather than His true love. (Ezekiel 16:37)
