'ACHES AND AIRS' Our Thoughts:
There's just something about humans that makes us have a need to 'air' all our 'aches'. Doesn't matter whether they are physical, mental, emotional,
or spiritual. When someone asks me how I am, of course, I had to tell them about my hard fall Sunday. That's just a natural thing to do, when you are aching all over. Almost everyone does it.
You meet people that don't have a good thing to say, though. They are 'down and out' on their luck; their marriage is rotten. Their health is always bad, even when they look the picture of health,
and you've never heard a thing about them being sick or going to the doctor. We call that hypochondria. If they don't have it, they 'will get it'.
Then, there are those of the spiritual nature. One will claim to be a Christian, but every thing that comes out of their mouth is doubt and unbelief. Instead of complaining, we need to be giving
God the praise and thanks that he deserves. As long as our tongue speaks things that aren't in line with the Word, we will continue to reap the 'aches' of life. Speak the Word, in every area, and God will provide
what we need!
God's Thoughts:
Lamentations 3:39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, we all have aches and pains. We all have problems. But, help us to look beyond these things, guard our tongue, and look to you for our needs. Help us not to be so critical that we drive others
from knowing you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
