Complaining — Part 1 (The Weather)

“That there be no complaining” (Psalm 144:14).

We tend to be complainers by nature, and there are two things that we complain most about: one is the weather, the other is the government. Yet the Bible tells us that both these things come directly from the hand of God and that we can do nothing about either one. Thankfully He is in complete control of both!

The next time you complain about the weather remember these verses:

• Rain: “The Lord … prepareth rain for the earth” (Psalm 147:7-8).

• Hail: “He gave them hail” (Psalm 105:32).

• Sleet: “He casteth forth His ice like morsels: who can stand before His cold” (Psalm 147:17)?

•Thunder & Lightning: “The Lord also thundered in the Heavens … and He shot out lightnings” (Psalm 18:13-14).

• Tornado or Hurricane: “The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm” (Nahum 1:3).

• Cloudiness: “The clouds are the dust of His feet” (Nahum 1:3).
