I received several comments about the verse from last week. I had been reading and hearing verses about "grumbling" recently and when I read that verse I decided to have it as the memory verse. It made me aware of how often I grumble to myself about things.
Is it easy for you to grumble? It sure is for me! I grumble about all kinds of things. When I think about it though, what I'm grumbling about is insignificant and doesn't even matter. Why waste my energy and joy on grumbling? This verse has reminded me to make sure I'm using my gifts to glorify God and not be grumbling about it along the way!
Here is the verse for the coming week. It is 2 Corinthians 5:9, 10:
"So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

Nice verse.
What a good reminder for me. And yes, we will give an account for how we live our Christian life. I can always use a reminder. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
Bethany,
Our message in church this morning was about being joyful always and not grumbling in the midst of trials.
Your post is very timely! ((hugs)) to you!!
Yes, its very easy to grumble. This verse clearly shows that we are to be above that, despite our feelings.
