“These are grumblers,
complainers, walking according to their own lusts. They mouth great swelling
words, flattering people to gain advantage.” Jude 16
Don’t we all grumble and complain at times? Does that put us
among the ungodly? We are certainly acting in an ungodly fashion. First, we
shouldn’t be grumblers and complainers because that shows a lack of faith in
God’s goodness and care for us. It reveals that we are sinners, but it doesn’t
mark us among the ungodly.
Their grumbling is because they are not in control of their
lives and the lives of others. They want to have the power that God has to run
things and dictate the direction all things go. They are braggarts who live an
ungodly life and grumble about restraint. They try to persuade others to join
their cause. Everything is all about them. Their grumbling isn’t just
expressing a momentary lack of faith, it is displaying a heart that resents
anything that impedes their will. Watch out for these
.
Father, Forgive our grumbling lack of faith. Give us true
daily trust in You. Amen
