I have noticed recently that I complain a lot, and I mean A LOT. Only because it was pointed out to me by my dad, and at first I didn't think I did. Well now that it has been brought to my attention I realized how much I did. Tonight we went to Waffle House for some Chocolate Pie for my step moms birthday. I noticed the waitress was complaining about not getting enough tips from her last shift. I thought to myself "Wow, there are so many people that are looking for a job and you are complaining about not getting enough tips? Just be grateful for what you have because there are so many people without jobs right now!"
This is when I realized I was being extremely hypocritical! I do the same thing she was doing and I was too caught up in what she was complaining about to realize it was God telling me to Humble myself. I do not think I have felt more hypocritical in my life. I mean, I complain about something not going my way, the way something turned out , etc. Why should I even think about complaining! God has blessed me with so much and no matter what I know that everything is from God Himself and there should be no reason to complain about that! So, from now on I am going to work on not complaining!
"Humble yourself before the LORD ,and He will lift you up"
James 4:10
"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14
