Many people seek to read through the Bible each year, and it is one of my yearly goals as well.
I am currently reading in the book of Numbers.
What a reminder of what God thinks of discontent
(remember my word for the year).
Miriam complained that Moses had a greater position than she did and received leprosy for a time.
The children of Israel complained about their lack of meat and God gave them so much quail that it became loathsome to them and became the beginning of a plague.
The sons of Korah complained about their position and the earth swallowed them up.
Oh the number of times that we read that the children of Israel angered God!
God is not pleased with a discontent heart.
What are you displeased with today?
The food on your table?
The car that you have to drive?
The clothes in your closet?
Your spouse?
Your children?
Your friends?
These are all gifts and should be received and valued as such.
It is easy to look at others and compare.
It is better to look at God and be grateful.
