Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world’s ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.
1 John 5:4-5 MSG
Whining is counterproductive to winning.
Whining saps the strength, endurance, hope and joy that’s prerequisite for winning.
Whining is giving consent to the external environment to poison the internal environment.
People whine about things beyond their control, but as children of the Creator of the universe, we have a direct approach to the One who is sovereign over all.
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Philippians 4:6-7 MSG
Here apostle Paul exhorts us to conserve our breath and energy wasted on worrying, whining and complaining, and instead focus on praising and praying.
In a crisis situation when the lay people complain and grumble, the King’s family is usually devoid of complaining. The family knows the king their father will control the outcome. If we look around and about us we can conjure up complain lists that can never satiate our appetites for cribbing, but does this behove the children of the King? We live in a broken world but we await a day when there shall be no more suffering no more tears. Till that day comes let us fix our eyes on what is unseen.
The temporal may cause us to complain but what’s eternal causes us to praise. Our hearts will never find the perfection and peace in this world, cause we are made for another.
