Are you complaining too?
“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”
—Anthony Robbins
The amazing thing that could happen to a man is to keep getting favored by God always just because he had always done his part to serve God. It's always the best thing to always give thanks to God, no matter what you are passing through. No matter the circumstances surrounding you, and no matter what the economy is saying. All you keep enjoying is God's unfailing blessings in your life. Of course, you can't enjoy these benefits if you are not for God. The Psalmist said taste and see that the Lord is sweet.
Since I have come to understand the Bible and the word being inspired by God and the promises therein, I have always been at peace and rest that God will always be by my side.
The Bible says give thanks in everything. This means when you are down, when you are facing a lot of challenges, when friends betray you, when you lose your loved ones, when you think all hope is lost, when you think there is no way anymore, when you are just been sacked from your job, when there is no food in the house and all you have is water, when you have nowhere to go, when friends and relatives ignore you, when doors are shut against you, give thanks still because when you forget all of these, there will be joy all around you.
Now when things are going smoothly, when you just gained admission after many trials writing jamb and other exams, when you have enough food in the house, when you are blessed with a baby after many attempt to have one, when you have got that offer you ever dreamt of, when you graduated after many years, when doors of breakthrough are opened to you etc, you still give thanks to God.
God is always happy when we praise Him, believing and leaving all to Him to take control. There is always that euphoria that we experience a great turn around. Isn't that amazing?
I saw a short video on my WhatsApp yesterday where the guy was encouraging us to always be grateful for what we have even considering the country's economy and how inflation has eaten deeply on every item, still there is food coming and money to buy everything we need. Why then do you need to complain when you know God is always faithful to you despite what the economy is saying?.
When my friends are always complaining that everything is just going up and never coming down, I will always ask, aren't you still eating? Has God not been blessing and providing? What matters is to see money and food which God has never stopped coming through.
People will always complain of inflation here and there, but they never for once appreciate God for the little they still have with them. The country is going bad, everything is just getting expensive including food, but You are still eating and spending money. Be grateful to God and He will always provide when He sees your heart being pure and genuine towards Him.
I don't complain of things increasing in price, but I always believe God will keep providing as He has always done, and this is why I don't bother when the economy is experiencing this. If you are for God, why get worried when you can just talk to Him and He will be happy to give to you whatever you ask from Him. It is His promise to provide according to His riches in glory and if He could provide and take care of the birds and the fishes, what more His beloved creature?
Seriously, this is not by making mouth or babbling but it is what I have experienced and it has always been that way, God has never failed me whenever I call on Him. He is ready when we are ready.
Stop complaining, but be grateful that God is providing for you to get whatever you want, no matter how little it is.
Thanks for reading.
