Getting a Grip on Gratitude
October 29, 2018
Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?
Numbers 11:22
The years of weariness caused by chronic pain and frustrations with my limited mobility had finally caught up with me. In my discontent, I became demanding and ungrateful. I began complaining about my husbands caregiving skills. I griped about the way he cleaned the house. Even though hes the best cook I know, I fussed about the lack of variety in our meals. When he finally shared that my grumbling hurt his feelings, I was resentful. He had no idea what I was going through. Eventually, God helped me see my wrongs, and I asked my husband and the Lord for forgiveness.
Longing for different circumstances can lead to complaining, and even a form of relationship damaging self-centeredness. The Israelites were familiar with this dilemma. It seems they were never satisfied and always griping about Gods provision (Exodus 17:13). Even though the Lord cared for His people in the wilderness by sending them bread from heaven (16:4), they began craving other food (Numbers 11:4). Instead of rejoicing over the daily miracles of Gods faithful and loving care, the Israelites wanted something more, something better, something different, or even something they used to have (vv. 46). They took out their frustrations on Moses (vv. 1014).
Trusting Gods goodness and faithfulness can help us get a good grip on gratitude. Today we can thank Him for the countless ways He cares for us.
Grateful praise satisfies us and pleases God.
When we read about the anger of the Lord (Numbers 11:1, 10), its important to remember that His anger is not like our own. Were inclined to lash out in fear, irritability, or a desire to get even. Gods anger is a consuming fire of love that burns in the conscience and results in consequences for those who turn their back on Him. What could give us more reason for gratitude than to know that the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love? (Psalm 145:8).

Thinking of a friend, Mike Spieght.
He said the Navy said he was to short to fly, but the air force gave him some phone books to sit on in an F102.
RIP Mike, RIP

It’s certainly easy enough, looking at the general talk on FR, to think “It’s always the same old same old.”
And it will look that way if we view what is happening through the eyes of the flesh. If we view it through the eyes of the Spirit, we will see God doing new things every day. The chief story isn’t even flashing, dashing human figures like Donald Trump, however dearly some of us may love him. The chief story is God, who “sets up kings and removes them.” What God builds will outlast human flash and dash.

Hey, there, radu!
How was your day today? Did the weather improve any at all? Are the kitties more calm after the full moon has passed?
All well here. Except for getting up early this morning, that is. LOL! But my nap was good. :)
