Today I preached from Numbers 11 on the theme of Complaining. In Numbers 11 it tells of a chain reaction that occurred related to complaining.
During the Exodus some fringe people complained about the food God provided, then the Jews themselves complained, Moses ,the leader, complained and wanted to die and God Himself became discouraged and angry at the whole situation.
The point--- be careful about complaining- you could set off a chain reaction of negative responses around you.
More importantly - Complaining is often rejection of God's path for your life and rejection of God trying to fine tune your trust in Him.
Be careful- Complaining is a downward spiritual path.
Be thankful for the dirty dishes - it shows you had food to eat! (paraphrase- Cecilia Williams)
