Bible Question: Israelites were constantly complaining. What attidudes really lay behind these complaints? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Ingrid... Welcome to the forum! Grumbling has at its root dissatisfaction with God's providence. See the contrast from Philippians 2:13-16. Note that the "blameless and innocent children of God" manifest themselves by an attitude of complete trust in God. They know that every circumstance and situation is entirely under His control. We can sweep everything away by simply giving it the name of sin. However, when the authority of Scripture alone is the foundation of our thinking, then we learn to let the Word illumine our thinking. Thank you for asking this question. In Him, Doc |
