Question 9 of 9
9. Question
Yes, when we complain, we show our lack of trust in God. I frequently don’t like what I hear coming out of my mouth, and I’m sure Jesus is grieved by it. Trying to change our words isn’t really the answer, however. Yes, it’s an improvement, but sooner or later on some occasion, we’re going to spill out our true feelings and reveal the condition of our hearts.
What is the answer then? The only answer is a change of heart.
Changing our hearts sounds even harder. Yes, it is difficult. But when we have a heart that lacks joy, one that is full of bitterness and complaints, we need to exchange it for a heart filled with joy and pleasure in the Lord. God is willing to help us make that exchange. We need only to ask Him for a grateful heart and by faith choose to rejoice.
The Scripture: Philippians 4:4, 6
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! …Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
14. What are Paul’s instructions to the Philippians and us?
15. How do we do this?
I believe that it is God’s desire and purpose to create an army of Christians whose faith and trust in His character will produce a joyful witness amidst the trials of living in our world. I believe that joy will be our strength to overcome in impossible situations, great suffering, and deprivations of all kinds.
We, you and I, can be a part of the army, if we will let God have His way in our hearts and in our lives and choose to trust Him in all things.
