We are not to complain but be THANKFUL for our BLESSINGS/GIFTS

Numbers 11:1

1And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

Complaining becomes the accusations against the Lord

Exodus 16:8

8 And Moses said, This shall be , when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.

CONSEQUENCE OF COMPLAINING / LUSTING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT PLEASE GOD:

Psalm 106:14-15

14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

Psalm 106:24-26

24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:


Hebrews 13:5

5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
