That complaining, worry filled domain is the land of fear and ingratitude. "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether we'll fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength."

Just gotta share this...mostly to replenish me and train my my brain and control my tongue. Quote: "Complaining is like emotional pollution; it pollutes the air that all breathe around us...it spreads to infect others much like sneezing. We murmur, disapprove, whine, blame, snivel, gripe and most importantly depreciate all that the Lord has done. Whiners look and find many who will chime in to validate their discontent. Difficult circumstances and negative people will come our way. When we complain we repel the presence of the Lord, we quench the Spirit of the Lord and He does not hear our prayers. Like the example of the children of Israel, they felt entitled and they were ungrateful for what they had and believed they deserved more. We need to put to death the negative spirit within us, and stop agreeing with the Liar, and start speaking kingdom language of thanksgiving in all things. In the "six things the Lord hates....a proud look, a lying tongue...and he who sows discord among the brethren." When it comes to judgments, criticism, sarcasm, negativity, complaining, and gossiping, most people live live in deception and they are blinded to whom they are serving by them. IF we are to be authentic followers of Christ, there is little room for innocent sarcastic remarks. "Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless" James 1:26 --- As Christians we must REFUSE to be offended by those who are weak, broken, hurting and who spew negativity. But the Lord does not want us to dismiss, or disassociate with a negative person, although we must use wisdom in what we share with them. Negative, broken spirited people are loved by God and we must choose the higher Way, His Way and forgive and issue mercy, patience and love as we pray for them. When we encourage the negative person, we do NOT speak of their behavior, but we call them up to being a renewed, changed, new creation in Christ. The Lord wants us us rejoicing always, and speaking words of life, hope and NOT judgement, criticism, sarcasm and complaining. Negative people are narrow-minded and therefore unteachable. They look for "what is wrong" and gladly give voice to it. Every time we have a bad experience, when all that is within our flesh wants to complain, we must STOP and pray asking "What would You Lord show me about myself in this? Give me wisdom, give me words to think, allow me to see the good, control my tongue and use it for Your glory in this situation." Praising God in all things, in every circumstance, causes us to look through the eyes of Jesus and expect good! "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones".... ahhh, "Sweeter than honey to my mouth" ...savoring truth "I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food"... I am celebrating the good news with my seat belt still fastened "Your word became to me joy and rejoicing in my heart". Yet learning the King's language, "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the teaching of kindness"....positive words that cause my spirit to swell ..what I spread around....goes around, and comes back to me...a blessing or a curse....I wisely choose to speak blessings!Barbara Hoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789458949936651728noreply@blogger.com
