Will of God Statement – Give Thanks!

Do you realize how unthankful you are! You complain about everything. Don’t believe me?

Take a personal evaluation of yourself during a typical week. In order for your evaluation to correctly assess your findings, you MUST be honest about yourself. The challenge, for one week only, write down every time you complain about something. For some, they will need a 200 page notebook, others will need much less.

Let me define what constitutes a complaint. Well, simply put, any time you say something that has a negative connotation. For example, a car is driving too slow, you begin to mumble to yourself, “why is this person even allowed to drive, they are driving like a turtle” or you bite into your double cheese burger that was supposed to be only cheese only to find a big fat onion laying there, you murmer about why, “Wendy’s cannot get my order right”. I think you get the jest of a complaint. The main reason for this self evaluation is to point out your need to give thanks. Giving thanks in every thing is the will of God for you. “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

We as Christians are waiting for God to tell us to go “Preach my Word” to the inner city. My friend, why would God instruct someone to preach when they are constantly complaining about everything? Will it be difficult to stop complaining and give thanks? It sure will, but we, as Christians, are called to a higher calling. “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). Amen.
