Snakebite

It’s easy to complain, but it’s wrong. Complaining 

puts you in a position of rejecting God’s gracious 

provision. We are to stay away from complaining 

and arguing. Once we have received eternal life, we 

don’t stop complaining overnight. Yet complaining has 

no place in believers’ lives. Complaining is habit-forming 

and can be self-destructive.  We should stop grumbling 

about our spouses, children, church, or friends. Life may 

feel like a desert, and we may be hot, tired and anxious 

for a new place to live and work, but beware of complaining 

about anything or anyone…it’s like a poisonous snakebite!
