We complain because we disobey God’s command to be content. Hebrews 13:5; 1 Timothy 6:6-8
We complain because we disobey God’s command not to think too highly of ourselves. Romans 12:3
We complain because we don’t obey God’s command to put others first, we are self- aggrandizing. Philippians 2:3
We complain because we don’t obey God’s warnings that without faith it’s impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6
So complaining becomes our clamoring to stay autonomous, Genesis 3, 11. If we’d ONLY conclude that our autonomy, living unto ourselves, ONLY achieves reasons to complain we would obey all God has said. We all stumble in many ways.
In Ecclesiastical 3:11 God created us toward dependency. We cannot get away from that. We all choose a “god” but only contentment and surrender to THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, and through our SANCTIFICATION can lead to a dependency that allows us to life that looks through contentment, and then being directed by His Spirit. If we aren’t choosing that, we get what every NEWS channel runs day and night... CHAOS, COMPLAINTS, and CONTENDING TO PLACATE A false god. That false god is always hungry for destruction. “They” false gods are never satisfied until even its servants are destroyed. No one wins! Only in Christ are there VICTORS!
Keep chasing the wind! The whirlwind looks close. But GOD... the TRUE GOD!
