The Importance of Not Murmuring

The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me this week about the importance of not murmuring or complaining. Ouch! I think that as women we are particularly vulnerable. First of all, we love to talk! Some claim that women use up to 20.000 words per day. Proverbs warns us, however, that "When words are many sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." Proverbs 10:19 (NIV)

It is also easy for us gals to find a listening ear. As women we are nurturers and want to comfort one another. We all need to vent to a certain extent. It takes self control, however, to know when to stop and take the positive path. The Lord "doesn't cotton to" murmuring. Just read the book of Numbers in the Old Testament and observe the plight of the grumbling Israelites! Our Creator is a "can do" God and wants us to be His "can do" people.

So, is our glass half empty or is it really half full? All it takes is a gentle reminder and a little self discipline. Let’s adjust our perspective, chase away those giants, and head for our promised land!
