For months, we have been reading posts on the elections, listening
to the whining of people from each side, and seeing people be on each other’s throats.
Well, now the elections are finally over, but WHEN DOES THE WHINING STOP?
If people spend half of the time that they use to whine to
do good things, the world would not be in the place it is today! There is so
much wisdom that can be gained from God’s word. There is so much understanding
that can be attained. Proverbs 6:6-11
says,
“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be
wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions
in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you
sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little
slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you
like a thief and scarcity like an armed man”.
What is it within us that puts complaining, arguing, and slandering
before all the blessings that are out there?
I will tell you what it is. It is our inability to trust in
God. It is our incapability to surrender to His will. It is the power of sin
working within us. Followers of Christ are meant to imitate Him and to be
representations of His Character. Unfortunately, often many of us, (sometimes without
knowing) chose the way of Satan. Did you know the word Devil literally means “slanderer”?
Well, now that the elections are over and you have done
everything to see your party win (assuming that is true), and now that you know
slandering is Satan’s character, instead of slandering and whining, what if you
focus on learning from God’s wisdom and trust Him to fulfill His promise for
your life? You see, we can have His power within us to bring transformation to
the brokenness of this world. So, let’s use it. Let’s make a difference. You
might be upset, you might be confused, but DO NOT FORGET THAT YOU HAVE MORE BLESSINGS
AROUND YOU THAN CURSES.
