Complain to God Instead of to Our Friends

Have you been around people who mostly complain - about everything from the weather to  politics or the boss? If you are like me, this gets old in a hurry!

Until I read today's devotional, I had never thought about complaining to God - instead of to people. What a blessed reminder that it's o.k. to talk to Him about anything!

The scripture from Philippians 2:14 says it loud and clear: "Do everything without complaining or arguing."  I thank God for His loving friendship that allows us to talk openly with Him about the difficult paths. I appreciate Sarah Young's words that talking with God "tempers" our thoughts and helps see things from His viewpoint. How different our lives would be if we looked at everything through a "God lens!"
