There does not go a day where you won't hear about gas prices. We have been fooled. We concentrate so much on the gas prices that we are frustrated, confused and angered by the continual increase. Every conversation leads to another complaint to the cost of gas. But we are forgetting something. We have cars!! Driving is a blessing not everyone has the opportunity to drive a car they ride the bus or walk. I meet people all the time that don't have a car and hope to someday be blessed to have one. But the ones that do have them we complain about "gas prices". Would you rather drive 15 minutes to the store or ride the bus for 2 hours one way. The enemy has spread the habit of complaining to us to distract us from the blessings that we possess. We must thank God for blessing us to have a car and have money to put gas in it. Complaining is never good so let us stop complaining and start thanking God for everything. Israel complained about everything in the wilderness they even complained about the provision of manna (bread) from heaven that God provided for them. Their complaining got them no where and neither will ours. Let us Praise God for the simple things for He is good to us. Let us change our complaining to thanking and bring life to our lives not death. Focus on the positive not the negative. And in all things Thank God.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Phillippians 2:14-15
