I Have No Complaints!
Steve Wagers
Psalm 142
1. The SPECIAL COMMUNION He Lets Me ENJOY!
A) He Comes to God Personally
B) He Calls to God Passionately
2. The SWEET COMPANION He Lets Me ENTERTAIN!
A) His Fearful Isolation
B) His Faithful Association
3. The STRONG CONFIDENCE He Lets Me EXPERIENCE!
A) He Will Bring Me Out into Freedom
B) He Will Bless Me On into Fulness
A farm boy got a white football for Christmas. He played with it awhile and accidentally kicked it over into the neighbor's chicken coop. The old rooster ran out, looked at it, and called the hens to see it and said, ''I don't want you to think I'm complaining, but I want you to see what they are doing next door.''
On November 4, 2010, Eunice Sandborn became the world's oldest living person. She celebrated her 114th birthday in July, 20, 2010, at her church, First Baptist, in Jacksonville, Texas.
She said, ''I have no enemies and no complaints.'' When asked to explain she said, ''I have outlived all my enemies, and I have lived too long to complain.''
Will Bowen was right when he said, ''''Complaining is like bad breath, you notice it when it comes out of somebody else's mouth, but not your own.''
By nature, we are prone to complain. It's either too hot or too cold. It's either too rainy or too dry. It's either too loud or too soft. It's either too long or not long enough. It's either too much or too little. When things are going great we complain that it's just a matter of time until it all falls apart; and when things fall apart we complain that things will never get better.
Many would do well to memorize the little poem ''Move Out of Camp Complaining:''
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain,
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame.
Even when the times are hard,
Fierce winds are bound to blow;
God is forever able-
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love;
Joy would cease to be.
Keep thanking Him for all the things ...
